eight guys page reality
The reality is that we have eight new guys in our lineup. We have to get them on the same page as everyone else.
fragile guys running zone
I thought defensively we were in much better position. We're a little fragile in our own zone sometimes and guys will get running around a little bit. I thought our positioning was much better.
guys happy moving skating
Guys were skating and moving the puck. I was happy with the pace.
front guys rules stand
I would like to see some of their guys stand around, under the old rules, where they stand now in front of the net,
certainly guys
Not the same way as a Scotty did, but we certainly have guys who can play physical. I don't know how much now you're going to be able to do that kind of stuff.
carolina chance enjoyed estate football francis guys hear huge kids loves ron ryan son taking talking year
Talking to Scotty (Stevens), he has kids and he enjoyed taking his son Ryan to football practice. I could hear it in his voice. I know that Ron Francis has a huge estate in Carolina and he loves it. Those guys never had a chance to take a year off before and they got used to it.
changed cultures days everybody funny game guys lunch nice occasions similar sitting soda today together whether
It's funny. I think the game has changed in that in the old days guys used to hang around a lot more together because everybody pretty well had similar interests. Today there's different cultures and different personalities. Now, not everybody does the same thing. When you do get occasions such as this, it's always nice to get out with your teammates. You find out a lot about each other when you're just sitting around, whether it's lunch or having a soda or whatever.
bit enthusiasm focused guys seemed
There seemed to be a little bit more life, a little more enthusiasm. Guys were probably a lot more focused when we got on the ice.
bunch forward front great guys leader particular somebody step strangest team teams
It's the strangest team I've ever been around. They're a different group. A leader would probably help. Most great teams have somebody that will step forward. We have a bunch of guys and not one particular guy to come forward and step in front if things get out of hand.
coffee smell sooner wake
We'll have to wake up and smell the coffee sooner or later,
I don't even know if I'm doing that or Lou's doing that.
hours sleep three
I'd like to get at least two or three hours sleep.
bit game games playing scoring turn win
Basically, I told them that we started playing their game a little bit - you take a turn scoring and I'll take a turn scoring. You don't win games like that.
bad everybody playing saying trying
We're just trying to get better. We're still in the hunt. As bad as everybody is saying we're playing and everything else, we're right there.
