brings effect energy guy guys hard keeps minutes people plays regular shift situations stands teammates three whether works
Riley is one of those guys that once he was in the lineup, he was hard to take out. He stands up for his teammates in the right situations and because he works so hard he keeps getting better and better. Whether he plays a little or a lot, he always brings energy to our lineup. He could play three minutes or take a regular shift and you always know he's out there. When a guy works as hard as he can, it has an effect on the people around him.
continuing eager excited great guys mention played players rewarded somebody step work
It can get frustrating at times, but we're really excited for the 14 guys who have played for the Flyers, not to mention those who went elsewhere. You always want your players to get a chance. It's great when guys like Eager and Meyer get rewarded for continuing to work hard. And when guys go up, somebody else has to step up.

bigger dig expected guys pay price score team
The guys on our team that are expected to score need to score but they need to dig in and pay a bigger price to score in my opinion.
competing confuse loose work
To me, there are two things. You can work and you can compete. Don't ever confuse working with competing. Competing for me is working with the will to get it done. Somehow, someway you're going to come up with a loose puck.

We are trying to tie everything into The Citizen Downtown Mile. We just want to give people a little more to do.

across deadline essential extend further goes meticulous proper
If we come across irregularities that need further examination, we can extend the deadline and do a proper job. It's essential that we're meticulous and it goes where we want it to go.
bring deal firm sign worth
If we can sign just one big deal to bring one more hi-tech firm here, it will be well worth it.
accepted against common powers teams
I wouldn't have accepted if I didn't have the powers I need. If teams don't comply, they're going against the common good, and if they don't, why won't they?
