I've coached against Peter and he'll take numbers and get even in due time. You won't hear anything about it, until you see a body laid out on the ice and you'll wonder how that happened.
start until wait yelling
Yeah, wait until I start yelling at him.
exhibition honestly until work
We?re going to have to make some adjustments. We honestly don?t know how this is going to work for us until we play some exhibition games.
assured ice nervous peter playing until whenever
Whenever there's something in the stomach, you get nervous but I've been assured it's nothing. I'm still going to be nervous until Peter is back on the ice playing pain-free.
percent unless until wait
We're not going to put him in unless he's 100 percent. If he's 100 percent after today, we'll probably let him go at it. But if he's not, then we will wait until Saturday.
countrymen guy neither playoff until
You've got two countrymen going at it and neither guy really blinked until we got into (overtime) at the end there. This was very much like a playoff game.
country either full holding injury might percent playing spot support sure until weeks whatever
Whatever he decides, we'll support him. But he's already said he's not going to play until he's 100 percent -- either here or there. Who knows? This might be a two-week injury and he might need a full two weeks to get healthy. I'm not sure if their country is holding a spot for him, but he's not playing until he's 100 percent.
certainly feels hit playing symptoms until wednesday whether
He's not playing. He got hit (Monday) and he had concussion symptoms again, so he's out. We don't know until he feels better whether he's going to come back or not, but he's certainly not playing Wednesday or Friday, that's for sure.
fighting talked
We talked about fighting right to the end. We did and we got two points.

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.
