city game keeping possible tough
It's tough to see that happen. He's done so much for the game of hockey, so much for the city of Pittsburgh, keeping the Penguins here, doing everything he can possible to keep them here.
definitely fast guys high move puck
It's very similar. There are a lot of guys that can move the puck and a lot of high scorers that are very fast and it's definitely a lot like that.
deal four good great half hard learning losses played pride third trouble work year
It's like 'Groundhog Day' half the time. We can take away that we showed a great deal of pride in the third and played hard and battled, but we did the same things that have been getting us in trouble all year to get us down four goals. We haven't been very good at learning from our mistakes, from our losses and even from our wins, and that's something we have work on.
good impression nice teammates win
It's nice to get that out of the way. You want to make a good impression on your teammates and play well. And this was an important win for us.
feeling good guys hopefully learn learning process took win
It's something where we really have to learn from this and learn the feeling of what it took to win this game. We have so many young guys that this is a learning curve. Every game's a learning process and we haven't been very good at learning. Hopefully we can take this and get better here.
air breath fresh lace wait
It's going to be a breath of fresh air for me. I just can't wait to get there, lace them up and get in the lineup with these guys.
fortunate great opportunity
It's been a great 20 years. We all should be so fortunate we had the opportunity to be around him.
dressing experience music room stand
It's been a new experience. I can't stand the music in the dressing room any more, so I know I'm getting old.
definitely quiet throughout
It's been really quiet. It's been quiet throughout the whole league. I would have thought more would be done by now, but it's definitely been quiet.
piece puzzle winning
I want to be a piece of the puzzle on a winning club.
aspect brought everybody good interested people wants whatever winning
They brought in some good people that are more interested in the winning aspect of the game. Obviously, everybody wants to play, but they're going to do whatever it takes.
effort extremely
It's inexcusable. The effort part is something that can be controlled, and it's not there right now. It's really, really, extremely frustrating for everybody.
dig great guys hard holes nice night obviously ourselves prepared quitting sign starts sure trying yourselves
It's great we didn't quit, but it sure would be nice to put ourselves in a different position. It's obviously a nice sign when the guys aren't quitting and still trying to do the right things. But obviously we have to be a little more prepared for the starts of games. It's too hard to dig yourselves into holes like this and try to come back every night like this.
fear might seemed
It might be a fear. You don't want to get embarrassed, especially at home. It's just something where the first one went in and we seemed to get a little life.
