areas good guys player puck splash
He's a good player. The thing about Dustin Boyd is he's a 200-foot player. There's some other guys that get a lot of splash because they're spectacular when they have the puck but he's a good player in all areas of the game.

It was a group decision to start the other guy. But the other guy wasn't very sharp against Chicago and I changed my mind this morning. I told Phil it was his start when he came to the rink.
ask game games guys hockey league national playing playoff talk
It's his first National Hockey League playoff game and you're not playing him 12-15 minutes, you're playing him extensively. You talk with the other guys and ask them about their first playoff games and it's significant.

It's about warriors. There's guys that we're counting on and that they're counting on to be really good in the trenches.
bit guy learn looked lots quick three top
When you're a guy that's looked on as a power-play guy and you get three right off the top and you're a little bit nervous. He'll learn lots from it because he's a quick study.
body carrying cities depends extra gonna guys hour road starting trip
A lot of it depends on guys who are banged up. We're starting on a road trip and all of those cities are an hour from Omaha. I'm not carrying an extra body if they're not playing, it's that simple. Especially the young guys, they're gonna play, that's the only way they're going to get better.

Officially, in March, it's a lower-body injury. We're going to do the same thing that 29 other teams do now. When you guys ask about an injury, instead of me being so honest with you, all you'll hear now is that he's got a lower-body injury.
count everybody expects good guys players ready
After the first period, it wasn't 1-0. It should have been more for them. Early, we had some players that weren't ready to play and that's disappointing. It's guys that you count on and everybody expects to be good players.
close game goes guess guy power
After Game 2, the one thing that's not close is power plays. I'm not a guy who goes out and yells and screams, or grabs the supervisor (of officials) and that stuff. I guess I should have got up and said something after Game 3, and I didn't.
areas bottom guys handful job players tough
Their players have been better than some of our players in the tough areas of the ice, bottom line. We have a handful of guys that can do a lot better job of getting there.
game guys hard intensity last maintain minutes playing situations special spread
If you look at the last two games, there's a whole game of special teams. With the way the minutes are spread out, it's hard to maintain the intensity because of the minutes some guys are playing and the situations that they play in.
beaten great guys legs played
In the end, they just had more legs than we did. We were beaten by a great team. I thought our guys played great.

We tried to get Jamie in the same deal as Chris Simon (two years ago). I look at (him) as a development type of player - a player who brings some skill to our team.
