I've been really working on stick-handling with my head up,
I've been through this a few times. So I'm not going to fire one out. When it's ready, it'll be ready.
Things are good right now and I know they are going to get better. I don't have an exact timetable right now but things seem to be moving in the right direction.
There's no communication I don't think we'll be playing this season at all. The bottom line for both sides is nobody should be worrying about public perception right now or who is right and who is wrong in all of this. They should be putting their energy into trying to get a deal done. It's not going to matter who is winning the battle for public opinion if we don't get a deal done. I just don't think there's much reason for optimism with nothing happening right now. We offered them the 24 percent (salary) rollback and I thought that was a very good offer. They didn't want it. We know that hockey is going to be back. But I can't tell you when and in what form.
We know that we can do it. In the last couple of games, we might have lost our confidence in moving the puck, making our shots and our passing wasn't as precise as it might have been in the past,
I can honestly say there isn't a guy in the dressing room who doesn't respect Pat.
My focus is to get the surgery under my belt so I can prepare myself to play next year. Retiring has never entered my mind.
What's best is having two points, ... We have played some good hockey clubs in the first four games. So we're just happy about the win. We got some great goaltending and we're fortunate.
It's definitely something we have to work on. Sometimes our entries into the zone are pretty good but the puck movement isn't. At other times we just have problems getting it in there.
It's interesting how it worked out, ... But this is a good situation for him. It's what he wanted.
It wasn't our most spectacular (win). But generally, a good effort.
Its a one-year deal but its also a chance to be here for many years to come,
It's a little dusty, ... It's about time. This is great. I'm really excited about it. It's a dream come true.
We were joking in the dressing room that we only put out two lines (in Atlanta) so the rest of us should have a lot of energy,
