future kids people playing sweater wearing
We are what we are. That was not an NHL lineup. We're playing with a lot of prospects. People get to see some future players, but these kids are a long way away from wearing the sweater for real and it showed up.
future kids maybe people playing positive ready side sweater wear
We are what we are. I mean, it's not an NHL lineup. We're playing a lot of prospects. On the positive side some people got to see maybe some future players, but these kids are still a long way away from being ready to wear this sweater for real.

Did I hear a whistle before the puck went in the net? No, of course not. The interpretation of the rule was explained to me and I don't agree with it.
five guys million pick stuck weeks wire worth
There's no way around what we're doing. We're not going to pick five guys off the waiver wire and two weeks from now we're stuck with $3 million worth of salaries and they're not going to be here. It just doesn't make any sense.
ahead exhibition focusing light regular steps sure taken work
We have some work ahead of us, but we're not focusing on our first exhibition game. We're focusing on the light at the end of the tunnel. We want to make sure all steps are taken before we get to the regular season.
