biggest great knows low net people puck strong
The biggest thing no one knows about him is how strong he is on the puck, ... Yeah, he can put the puck in the net and makes great plays, but he?s really strong down low and not too many people see that.
crowd enjoy game hear moment
It's exciting. You don't really know how to feel. But to hear the crowd and see the hats, you just try to enjoy the moment a little bit. When it's at the end of the game and you know you won, you can enjoy it a little more.
best minutes nice playing tv watch younger
It will be nice to see him. I watch him on TV sometimes. He's doing well. It's a younger team, he's playing 15 to 20 minutes a game. He's getting into more situations. All the best to him.
fun good hanging ice living nice season share
We've become really good friends and living together, going through everything together, hanging out off the ice every day, it's nice to have him around. It's fun to have someone to share this with. My first season has been unbelievable as well, on and off the ice. It has been a whirlwind.

captain cut guy hard hits locker lose room season worked
I think it hits everyone hard when you lose the captain of your team. He's worked so hard to come back, to have his season cut short, you feel for him. To have a guy like that go out of your locker room is pretty tough.
biggest guys ice leadership perform somewhat
I think it somewhat comes natural, ... You always want to know what's going on with your team. The biggest thing about leadership is being able to perform on the ice the way you want the guys to perform. Lead by example.
blame demanding guys harder litter might teach trying whether younger
He's a very demanding coach, whether you're young or old. He might be a litter harder on the younger guys because he's trying to teach us how to play the game, but you can't blame him.
Right when they got the first goal, I think it kind of slowed us down and we couldn't really recoup after that.
