bit break bringing clubs dressing efforts good gotten guys healthy hockey job olympics provide room worried
I'm not one bit worried about our hockey team. I think we have the guys in our dressing room to get the job done. We've gotten more healthy over the break and we have some guys having some good efforts in the Olympics who can provide something to the lineup that they're bringing to their hockey clubs over there.

It was in the heat of the moment. I didn't really know what the penalty was for until I got to the dressing room. It was one of those things that happens in a game. Hopefully they will consider that.

Things happen at the back of the bus the coach never knows about. It just happens - it's part of being a rookie.

I've had too many missed chances. The puck hasn't been going in.

Eddie saved our bacon so many times over the last two or three years. It's about time we owed him one back. That's something we deserved to get him, that's for sure.
