early found
Early in the season, we haven't found ways.
among feels gone guys missed room stretch time
That stretch of time has gone by fast. You get back in the room and it feels like you haven't missed a beat. To be back among the guys is a lot of fun.
biggest bit contact level physical problem skill wear worse
My biggest problem is I can only play one way. I really can't try to play the perimeter and use some level of skill because it's not part of my repertoire. If I can't be physical then I'll never be able to play again. I wasn't any worse for wear after the little bit of contact I had, which is good.
rivalry travel
From the travel standpoint, it's a lot better for the players. From the rivalry standpoint, it's a lot better for everyone.

Obviously, I feel better than I have. It's a huge hurdle for me and I feel really good. By no means does it change anything that I stated earlier. I'm just taking it one day at a time.

Personally, it's exciting. Every hurdle is another step closer to a full recovery.

September at the earliest, that was the time frame (set) with the announcement back in February and that has not changed. The organization has been great giving me the ability to get better at the pace I wanted to have. If that means six months from now, as long as I have no regrets on how I tried to get myself in position to play, I can live with that.

I felt good. This is part of my rehab. It's a huge hurdle for me.

I feel ..not bad. Obviously, I feel better than I have (felt before) to be out there. This is part of my therapy, my rehab. It?s another hurdle -- a huge hurdle for me. I feel really good which is the most important thing.
buzz created retail
We've really created a buzz in the retail and manufacturing industries. We'll be visible.
depends guys knew players pushing team
We knew these guys were going to contribute. We didn't know they were going to be relied upon. They keep pushing through. I can't think of another team that depends on young players like we have.
happened leads maybe night opening safe saw
We didn't get away with it opening night. And you saw what happened in Toronto. Four-goal leads are not safe anymore. Every night you have to play 60 minutes. Maybe more.
lots meet prepared teams
We come with lots of expectations and teams are going to be prepared for us. We've got to be prepared to meet their effort.
