Even if he doesn't get open, he opens something else up,
games hockey kid playing score scoring street
It's why we all play the game. When you play street hockey as a kid and are playing out games in your head, you are not scoring to make it 7-1. You want to score to make it 4-3 or score the game-winner.
aside educated environment fans field great track
These are probably the most educated fans about track and field aside from Europe. It's a great environment.
advantage carry guys hopefully tired
They have the experience, but we have the youthfulness on our team. We have guys who probably should be tired but aren't because they are so young, and hopefully we can use that to our advantage and they can carry around us old guys for the ride.
adversity couple dealing fun last nice
It's nice because we've been dealing with this adversity the last couple of months. It's fun to play this way.
anyone bring key knows late speed team watched
They bring us speed and skill. They're late acquisitions, but anyone who has watched this team knows they've been key acquisitions.
checks contention cup finishes game good physical power score talent team teams top win
They have a good power play, they are a physical team that finishes checks and they have the talent to score goals. They are one of the top teams in contention to win the Calder Cup and we're in the game with them. We're close.
best couple fun heck hopefully next player players pressure rocking sitting watch
He's one of our best players every night, if not the best player. We need him to keep doing what he's doing for hopefully the next couple of months. No pressure for a young kid, not at all . . . He's a heck of a player and he's going to be fun to watch for a lot of years when I'm sitting in my rocking chair.
brings deep defense dimension guy level rare speed type
He brings another dimension to the offense, because he's got the type of speed that we've lacked around here. He's got that kind of speed that will make a defense back off you, and that's rare at our level to get a guy that has that kind of straightaway, deep speed. They have to kind of know where he is on every play.
forward game lacking maturity ready stepping
All he's lacking is game experience, but I think you see the maturity of him stepping forward as a leader. He's ready to take the reins.
