amazing believe brought commitment good growing love ownership pains playing thankful
I love playing here. There have been some growing pains over the years, and I want to be here for the good times, and I think they're coming; I really believe in what the ownership is doing and the commitment they've made and I'm very thankful for that and also with our teammates. It's amazing who we brought in and who we have.
fun watch work
I'll have to work on some breakaway moves. I think there's going to be more two-on-ones and more breakaways. It should be fun to watch though.
agents benefit core free intact missing ours piece position puts team teams
I really like the position of our team, ... We're a young team that has a young core that's still intact and now we're one of those teams that's going to benefit from having free agents become available. If a team like ours is missing one piece, now we're able to go out and find that piece that puts us over the top.
determined hockey
In the third, we were a lot more determined hockey club.
against boost both chance excited fit goal good great guys hard heard knowing locker matter natural physical playing room score speed stanley three tony
I'm very, very excited. Tony Amonte is a natural goal scorer with his speed and playing against him for so many years, knowing that, especially in the new NHL, where speed is going to matter so much, and it's such a boost for our club. And Darren McCarty, three Stanley Cups, and he's so hard to play against. You play against him and he can skate, he's physical and he can score goals. And these guys I've heard nothing but good things from other players. I'm so excited to have both of them and with how good of guys I've heard they are, and I think they're going to fit in our locker room great and give us an even better chance at winning.
anybody great overtime stop
It was great to see that go in. He's got a big shot. I don't think anybody can stop that. Especially that overtime goal.
bit couple defensive everybody game given knows last losing order room start winning
In our last couple of games, we've just been a bit sloppier than what our game is and we've given up way too many goals. We've got to get back to doing what we do and that's winning the defensive battles. In the last couple of games, we've been losing those and everybody in our room knows it. That's where well have to start in order to get better.

He's right at the top of his class, there's no question. He's going to be a star.
carry few finger score wish
I don't know. I have had some success, been able to score a few goals. It's nothing I can put my finger on. I wish I could carry that over.
I don't think that's for us to say,
hockey yelling different
He was yelling pretty urgently. There's different pitches of yell and he was screaming.
player games league
I want to be the top player in the league, and I want to bring my game to another level. I want to play against the opposition's best players-and I want to beat them.
growing-up team kids
Growing up, I was always the only black kid on my team and (sometimes) I'd get questions from my friends when I'd say, `I want to be in the NHL' and they'd say, `Well, there are no black people or not very many in the NHL' and as a kid, you'd wonder why. But overall, I didn't really face any racial difficulties. Nothing too bad or too lasting.
