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.
hurt obviously seem terrific
It doesn't seem to have hurt him, has it? It's pretty amazing, what he's done. He's obviously a terrific, terrific player.
approach drive ethic game learning mental next obviously process stronger type unless work worry
He's young. We all were like that. You're not the type of goalie he is unless you are that competitive and have that drive to be the best. It's a learning process to where you get over that and you worry about it after the game but the next day it's a new day. It's not always easy. But with his work ethic and the way he does things I don't worry. Obviously his mental approach is something he's going to get stronger and stronger at.
brought fill grow guys huge identity jersey marty obviously players reason successful veteran younger
They're going to have to grow that identity with some younger players and some of the veteran guys that they brought in to fill that void. You know, the one thing obviously in Jersey is Marty is there. That's a huge reason why they've been successful for so long, as well.

Ray is a very smart player. Obviously he's got great talent, and we're hoping he's able to come back and make a difference.
feels life obviously
He's got a lot going on in his life right now. And he obviously feels that this is the time.
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.
advantage
When you get goaltending like that, you have to take advantage of it.
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.
age-and-aging hate kid looks mario reminds shoot
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.
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.
continue five focused games positive stay sure work
We have to continue to play like that. Five on five we were still a better team. We just have to make sure we stay positive and stay focused and work on the things that are actually costing us games right now.
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.
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.
