affect continues factors impressed might serious
If he continues to play like that, we have to take a serious look at him. There are a lot of factors that will go into the decision, like how it might affect his career. All I can say now is that I'm very impressed with his play.
concern efforts game hockey minutes ours realize
When you only play 10 minutes of a hockey game, it's not too often you come out of it with a point, ... We need to realize that we are going to need some 60-minute efforts and that has been a concern of ours as of late.
consider third
At one point, you'll have to consider making a third unit.
ourselves putting ways
We're putting ourselves in that situation. Over 82 games, once in a while, you like to find ways to make it easier.
almost best bulldog chance chris good hamilton last natural number player sliding wing year
I got the chance to see him play a number of times last year and he was not only the best Hamilton Bulldog on the ice, but more often than not he was the best player on the ice. He's a natural center, but we're very comfortable sliding him in on the wing as well. Chris is a really good two-way player who can play in almost any situation.
draw kid knows
One thing's for sure, he's a kid who knows how to listen. That's what he did all night. You don't need to draw this kid a picture.

adapt apply continues course extra game guys players rules spend time top trend unit unless wear
We are going to have to do something before we really wear out our top guys with all of the power-plays we're now seeing. If this trend continues and you apply that to an 82-game schedule, that extra unit is really going to come in handy, unless of course the players adapt their game to the new rules and spend less time in the box.
centre guy injury move position run solid
What we like about Radek is that he can be a solid No. 3 centre for us and if we run into injury problems, then he is the kind of guy who can move up to the No. 1 or No. 2 position with no problem,
patient played wait
We thought we'd have to be patient with him, but we didn't have to wait long. He's played very well.
although average found good played players score winning
I thought he played an average game. But good players find a way to make a difference, and although he had an average game, he found a way to score the winning goal.
