bring case decided foot guess hope seven somebody utilize
His foot was swelled up and we just decided to keep him off. We hope not, but I guess that's a possibility, and in that case we may have to utilize seven defensemen or bring somebody up.
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.

attitude desire fearless full guy ice keeps nights player straight teams trouble
As a team, there's nights when you need his enthusiasm, you need that desire to go through anybody. His fearless attitude on the ice is something that keeps other teams on their toes. There's nights you just can't have another player do that. He's full bore, straight ahead, and the first guy there when there's trouble for any of his teammates.
gotta overcome team tough
As a team we've gotta be better. That part's gotta be better, too. They've had some tough times. We've been able to overcome some of those times. Right now we haven't.
