expect record tough wayne whatever
I can just tell you on record that whatever happens, we need and want Wayne there. He is our leader. He got us through some tough times in '02 and we expect him to get us through some tough times in '06.
comment expect locker next players ready role room seconds speaking though
There are players who have been though this. And the comment was: 'You can expect this every night.' . . . Hatcher had a big role in that. He was speaking seconds after we got into the locker room . . . (reminding players to) get ready for the next one.
expect start
When you start a goalie, you expect him to go the distance.
expecting home living team
That's living dangerously. You can't live like that. You can't live expecting a team at home to go 0 for 9 again. That's no way to live. You're going to have to be better in that area.
expect game hard home living team wore
I thought we got better as the game wore on. When you're killing back-to-back-to-back penalties, it's hard to get momentum. That's living dangerously. You can't expect a team at home to go 0-for-9 again.
again answer bell building emotion expect games increase mark minutes near played question second
I think we play better when we're desperate. The big question mark now is, can we answer the bell again a second time? We've played some games like that in our building and then we haven't come back with near the emotion or intensity. We have to play with the same sense of desperation or increase it for more minutes if we expect to win.
dominating early expect hockey league national physical
He has everyone in the National Hockey League surprised. We didn't expect him to be this physical or this dominating so early in the season,
expect guys people roles score
You can't expect 34-year-olds to score like 26-year-olds. Those guys have other roles that are as important, but we have to get more from other people who are capable.
fighting talked
We talked about fighting right to the end. We did and we got two points.
game jon saw sharp
We just saw Jon Sim in one game and it was excellent, so we know that has potential, and that's a place where Sharp may play some minutes.
love player reckless seems success type
We just love his competitiveness. He's a reckless player, and that type of player seems to have a lot of success in the NHL right now.
carries confident guys mike motivated pro reminds younger
We just want the younger guys around confident people. Mike is a guy who doesn't need much direction. He's already motivated -- he reminds you of a 10-year pro the way he carries and handles himself.
bit emotional goal hit loss needed quite seemed three took
We just had an emotional week, and I think yesterday's loss took quite a bit out of us. We hit three goal posts, and we seemed to not have the energy, especially offensively, to do the things we needed to do.
game hockey pay prepared price start team toronto win
We weren't prepared to pay the price to win the hockey game at the start and when you give a team like Toronto a sniff, they're going to make you pay a price.
