close eventual game impact lots means open player players six sooner stage top wait
Obviously, the sooner the better. But if it means we have to wait to get Pavel in our lineup I'll wait. At this stage of the game I don't think it's going to have any impact as to our eventual roster. We're not going to be able to go out and find a player that's close to Pavel. If you look at the open market, there's lots of players out there that we think could be third- or fourth-line players in the NHL. But he's (Datsyuk) a top six forward.
coming ends hope however obviously red saying wings word
Obviously my hope is that he ends up in a Red Wings uniform. So however long it takes, hopefully, eventually, we'll get a word saying he's coming back.
people playing pressure reason struggled understand
One reason I wanted Osgood is that he understands the expectations of playing here. Some people have struggled with those expectations and that pressure. Osgood understand that pressure and still wanted to be here.
carry fact good playoffs team
One thing we can carry into the playoffs is the fact we've been so consistent. This team should feel good about what it accomplished.
expectation
My expectation is that Pavel will be back to play for us.
ends hope however red uniform wings
My hope is that he ends up in a Red Wings uniform - however long it takes,
couple expectation hope realistic similar starting
My hope is that he can play similar to where he was a couple of years ago, ... I don't know that that's a realistic expectation starting this week.
both case chris ended given good great healthy joseph later next opportunity rapport signing sure wherever
Chris has been a No. 1 goaltender wherever he's been while Manny has never been given that opportunity. In 2001, when they were teammates, Manny made a great case to be the next No. 1 guy, but we ended up signing Dominik Hasek and later Curtis Joseph . This is a great opportunity for both Manny and Chris, and they've had a good rapport in the past, so I'm sure it will be a healthy competition.
appears looked online
I looked online today. It appears to me he didn't play in the game.
money
I have money set aside, ... They know where we're at. We are not negotiating. He just has to decide.
amount certain everybody knows office pay prepared seven somebody walks
If I pay somebody a certain amount of money, ... everybody that walks into my office knows what I've paid. So if you pay too much for one player, you better be prepared to pay too much for seven players.
hope
You hope nobody's involved. I don't know much.
again country opportunity pass represent
To have the opportunity to represent my country again is something that I could not pass up.
counting guy lose losing
When you lose a guy like Pavel, you're losing a guy you're counting on for a lot of offense.
