assumption hear players ready sure until
I always go under the assumption that players are going to play until I hear differently. I'm sure he'll be ready to go.
consistency great handle hockey players sure test
His test is going to be consistency. The great players do it for 10 years, and I'm sure that he will be able to handle that. He's just so all about hockey that I can't see why he wouldn't.
against beat career decision difficult extremely family hard played respect situation sure
He made a difficult situation very easy. He played extremely hard every game. He's made a decision for his family and his career and we respect that. We just want to make sure that when we play against him, that we beat him.
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.
close games involved likely next people player quite special sure time win wish
I think the two people involved would likely wish it would just go away. This time it's not quite the same as it was the first time. There's special games for each player in the room. It's a close group, and I'm sure they would like to win for Alex, but it's just our next game.
came power shots
I know there was a (10-4) disparity in the shots. But in the first period, I think 10 of their shots came on the power play.
character eight games hard testament win work
They work so hard every night, and to go eight games without a win is difficult. For them to come out and to play that hard and play that well is a testament to the character in the room.
good great guys loved nine players tonight work
I loved it. They work so hard, and tonight was just a great endorsement of what these guys do. We were down to nine forwards. We had no players left, and in the end the ones we had were spent. For the guys we were able to put on the ice, I thought they did a pretty good job.
finish goals happy hated meant sad
I'm happy he got to 50. I would have hated to see him finish at 49 goals. It would have been sad because I know what it has meant to him.
game penalties point turning
It was a game where we didn't play very well. We had some penalties we took. ... It was 1-0, then it was 3-0 and that was the turning point in the game.
goal great guys happy
It was a great play, a great goal by a great player. Our guys are as happy as he is for his success.
against lack playing stronger
It was playing against bigger, stronger players. We're young men. They're big men. It wasn't a lack of effort. It wasn't a lack of execution.
aware catch sneak speed strengths team
Their speed didn't catch us off guard. This team doesn't sneak up on anybody. We're all well aware of their speed and strengths and how well they can play defensively.
attack hard ice night team
They were on the attack all night long, and their D was up the ice all night. They're a hard team to play against.
