believe definitely
I don't believe it was inadvertent. But he definitely got him with his stick.
cuts definitely easy good guys limited looking players round several
Several of those players had very good camps, but we're limited on room. They're not easy decisions. When usually you go through the first round of cuts you're looking at second-tier guys. Some of these guys will definitely play (in the NHL).
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.
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.
definitely execution
We are definitely disappointed. Our execution wasn't very good.
faith ownership
I'm very appreciative from ownership all the way down, the faith they've shown,
decided four games guys handle hurt minute playoff series three wear
In a long series, they're going to wear down all our old guys. I think our young guys can handle a long series. You look around at every playoff series, they're not decided in three games and they're usually not decided in four games. Not for a minute do I think a long series will hurt our team.

It's something a lot of people have dealt with. Really, all we ask is that you say a prayer.
five game goal greatly guys night skate stand
Every night it's highlight-reel goal after highlight-reel goal. You'll get to see probably five a night in our league. And the guys that can skate are the guys who stand out. I think the game has greatly improved.
advantage balanced built four games ice plays schedule team
Everybody's schedule is tough. I think we have one of the toughest. I don't know if there's another team that plays 17 games in 30 days. But I think the advantage we have built in is we've utilized four lines. We've been a pretty balanced team when it comes to ice time.
attention certain drafted glory next people pride saying
The attention has been there for Crosby. That comes with being drafted No. 1 overall, Canada's pride and glory and certain people saying he's the next Gretzky.
game however key time
That flurry he faced, he made the saves. However he made them, he made them at a key time of the game for us.
