I don't have answers anymore. I've never been on a team like this. I really don't understand.
game great older players respect sick talking
I don't get sick talking about him because he is such a great kid. The respect he has for older players and the game is impressive.
bit capable focus helps obviously team trying
Obviously, it helps you feel little bit better because you want to help the team and do the things you're capable of doing. But obviously you want to get more wins. Right now my focus is on trying to do the right things.
best player
Sid was the best player on the ice.
everybody last learned learning paid wrong year
One of the things we haven't done very well this year is learning from our mistakes. Everybody makes them, but you have to learn from them. That's what we did in our last two games, learned from what we'd been doing wrong and it paid off.

None of us would have any idea about something like this, no, absolutely not. I was just as surprised as everybody else was and, you know, I think it was shock throughout the whole league, really.

None of us would have any idea about something like this, no, absolutely not.
competing guys
We're competing a little harder. And the guys who aren't competing aren't going to play.
great guys help kids teach
We have a lot of great young kids here and there will be a need for some veterans, some guys who have been through it and if I can help teach some of them some of what I've learned, that would be tremendous.

You hate to say it, but the kid really reminds you of Mario at that age. He's big, can skate, can shoot and looks like he has something of an edge.
advantage
When you get goaltending like that, you have to take advantage of it.
care guys philly playing situation trying
We all care about one thing and that's trying to win. I was in the same situation in Philly and there are always enough pucks, guys are playing their roles.
hard kids wants
You can tell he competes very hard and wants to be successful. Like Sid. I think that's why these kids are that good. They really want to do well. They really want to compete. And they really want to be difference-makers.
behind early good hockey played until whatever
We don't play good hockey until we get behind for whatever reason. If we'd played like that early in games, we wouldn't get into trouble.
