expects forget guy produce wait
When you have a guy everyone expects to produce you just wait for him to explode. We can't forget about him.
beat brought game guys league level predators reason situation talent though top
To me, he's one of the top goaltenders in the league and he's a big reason why the Predators are in the situation they are right now. He beat me at the World Championship, and even though there wasn't as much talent there as there will be at the Olympics, he's brought his game to the level of guys that have been around the league for a long time.
affecting games guys martin nobody ready rule sure teams voted
If they had 30 Martin Brodeurs out there, that rule wouldn't be there; nobody would have voted for it, ... There are just too many teams that didn't have these goalies that were ready to make sure the guys that were affecting the games weren't able to do it anymore.
guys locker party spoiled stick today walked
That was the first thing we said today when we walked into the locker room. They spoiled our party when we were doing so well and these guys were doing well and we wanted to stick it to them the way they did to us.
against aside best bringing definitely guys hockey players playing
I think ... we're going to put this aside for two weeks, playing hockey against the best players in the world. I think definitely the distraction is you guys bringing it up to us because we don't bring it up to each other at all.
anxious camps canada chance guys nice perform summer team training transition younger
I think there was a big transition in Canada, having younger guys being part of Team Canada now. I think it's nice we had a chance to perform with each other. At least you don't come in and it's a brand-new atmosphere. Now Team Canada has been doing these pre-Olympic training camps in the summer also, where we got together. I think everybody's really anxious to see each other again.
guys harder position system works
I think it's going to get harder and hard to do. I was in the position to be able to do it. I don't think too many guys are going to be able to do that with the different way the system works now.
blame guys
I don't think you can blame the new guys for the way we've been playing.
definitely feeding guys move next performance pride year
For us defensively, we take a lot of pride in it. This year it's a little different because of the circumstances of the CBA. There are no bonuses. The guys are definitely out for just pride and feeding off that performance to move on to the next game.
came guy idolized
He was a young guy from Montreal, like me. I idolized him because he came in (to the NHL) so young and he showed he could do the job. He made me see the possibility of doing it myself.
guy maybe time wonder
You kind of wonder what's next. Maybe Lou is the right guy for the time being, to make us more accountable.
excited front goal great guys helps high jersey mine possibly three
That's a pretty great accomplishment, I'm pretty excited about it. Now I've got three more guys in front me. Definitely, it's a goal of mine to try to get as high as I possibly can. Being in New Jersey helps me a great deal.
chance feels game guys hopefully lake role salt
It's important that everyone feels they have a role on this team. They told me in 2002 (in Salt Lake City) I would play at least one game and I was really excited. Just to have that chance ... and hopefully these guys will feel the same way, that they'll play one game or two.
along definitely excited guys nice starting teammates three
It's definitely nice to see two of my teammates along with me in the starting lineup, ... It's something we're really excited about. ... When you see three guys on the same team at the All-Star game, it's pretty amazing.
