We believe we have good enough speed to take advantage of teams with the new rules,
With the referees coming into the room before the game and explaining the rules,
It fired up our will when we heard things like the more the series went on, the tougher it would go for us. Those were just motivation points for us.
It doesn't really bother us. They gotta give good reasons to their fans why they've been losing to us this year.
I think it went well. I saw the doctors again this morning and they both told me that it looked good. Right now it's a tough time, but at the same time I'm on the upswing. It's recovery time. And I'm happy we finally found out what was wrong and I can look forward to coming back on the ice.
I think maybe we looked too much for the tie. But give them credit, they bounced back. From being up two goals, then losing that lead and still finding a way to win.
I'm still far away from coming back. I can't really push off yet or take off in a hurry. Pivoting gives me a hard time still. But it's just fun to be back around the guys and having the chance to skate with them a little bit.
I saw Jochen coming down the side board, I was on the inside and I slid back door and realized nobody took me. When I saw he had the step on the guy, I was hoping he'd see me. When it (the pass) came my eyes were pretty big.
I thought we gained a lot of experience. I was surprised by how we kept our composure.
I think we're sitting in a good position. I don't think we have a team right now to win the Stanley Cup, to be honest with you, but we have a lot of room under the salary cap, and we can make some moves.
I guess if it's accidental there's a good chance you might get suspended. If it's on purpose then I guess it's OK. It makes me angry, but there's nothing we can do about it. The only positive thing is that Tucker is going to play golf, and we're going to the playoffs.
When you're so close to playing, it's going to be frustrating if I don't have time to get into a game before the break.
We'll know more when they open me up.
We don't have a problem with predictions that put us in the last three in the conference,
