full looking year
He's probably looking at ... in a full year ... probably getting 20-25 goals.
expect good ice might opportunity role year
He will have the opportunity to get good ice time. His role might be more than with some other teams. And put in that situation, I think he'll play well. I expect a real good year number-wise.
deserves good gotten leader terrific tremendous worked year
He deserves everything he's gotten here. He's worked hard; he's been a good leader in the room; he's been a tremendous leader on the ice. He's been terrific for us all year long.
enjoy fans lots open players quick
Oh, it was terrific. I think once we get going here, the fans are going to really enjoy our game, as you can see out there. It's a quick game, there's lots of open ice, so I think the more the players get used to the rules, the better the game's going to be.
happened last leads lose maybe momentum three
It's been going on for maybe the last two or three games. That's what has happened with the leads we've had. Because we take penalties, we lose momentum and then we lose the lead.
ear
They'll just have to play it by ear and see what's going to take place. It could be a month, it could be longer, I'm not sure.
couple expect miracles moved worked
We moved it around. Had a couple of chances, but the first day we worked on it was today. You can't expect miracles out of it.
care effort systems work
There's not very many systems that work if you don't have the work ethic. And it just spreads through the whole team. I don't care what system you play. If you don't have that effort there, it's not going to work.
areas drop factor game puck struggled win
The way we started the game was the most important factor for us tonight. It's one of the areas we've struggled in all season. We showed them from the drop of the puck we wanted to win the game.
behind bench blues coaching exciting forward looking team time
This is an exciting time for our team and our fans. I'm looking forward to getting behind the bench and coaching the Blues again.
effort guys hearts played terrific
No, not at all. Our effort was terrific out there. Our guys played their hearts out.
anyone cautious side training
It's just day-to-day. He just tweaked his groin. And anyone who does that in training camp, we're kind of more on the cautious side than anything.
confidence game gives good high start throw
It's part of how you start the game. If you start the game well, it gives everyone confidence. Our confidence isn't at a very good high right now. It doesn't take too much to throw us off our game.
It's an unfortunate play. That's the way 2005 ended, right there.
