believe camp experience looking statement three
Camp for them is going to be very competitive for them. They all have experience now, and they all believe that they can be a No. 1. And I think they all think they can be our No. 1 this year, so we are looking for one, two or all three of them to make a big statement in camp.
blow last minutes suffer
In the last two minutes of the first period, that's as big of a blow that you can suffer when you are in your building.
build people players rank top year
I rank him right up there with the top all-around performers. People build up names. But I think he's having a better year than some players on the team.
bit challenged deck hit
If you're going to go low, show a little bit of guts. If you're challenged by another guy, don't hit the deck again.
cost definitely experience looked odd served strength team
If you looked at it, you could say our team lacked regular-season experience going into the year. Our strength has been our youth. At odd times it has cost us, but it's definitely served us very well.
absolute best deserve head knee players playoffs shot
If you go knee on knee and take a shot at the guy's head at the same time, you don't deserve to be in the game. We're going to the playoffs and you take out one of our best players because you couldn't take a hit. That's an absolute joke.
looking motion puck range shooting taylor week
He's shooting the puck pretty well. The range of motion and everything's good. Taylor I would put in the day-to-day category, but you're probably looking more at a week to 10 days.
kept seeing
He's seeing doctors, and we'll see where we'll go. In all likelihood, we feel it's that direction. That's why we've kept him out.
healthy team weeks
He's sore. . . . Could he play? I think if it was a do-or-die situation, we may take the chance. But we need a healthy team weeks from now, not right now.
days definitely feeling free generally seven symptom
He still wasn't feeling well today, from dizziness, generally foggy. He definitely will be in that concussion category, where at least for seven days he's going to have to go symptom free (before he can skate), and it could be longer.
beginning finish game league level sees tries work year
He sees the game a little differently sometimes. Some of the things he tries at this level will work in the American League but won't work here. But if you told me at the beginning of the year he'd finish with 25, 26 goals, I'd be happy.
gifted player
He's probably the most all-around gifted player I've been around.
decide explain five gotta guy judge kicked reviews took video
I don't know how their video judge can decide that in one second. Somebody's gotta explain that to me. We've had reviews where it's been five minutes. That took two seconds, and the guy kicked it in. Come on.
career center determined fits liked player plays three
I don't know if his career was going nowhere. They liked him there, but here he's been a more determined player in all three zones. He fits the way we play here, and when he plays center he's able to play in any situation.
