During the year we'll start thinking about the dream lines, ... We seemed to have come up with some good lines here although after two games in 2002 we switched them all around.
I was proud of how our guys bounced back. It would be easy to accept what was going on. We were up earlier in the game as well and gave it up. We'll just have to find a way to play better.
You just cannot play that way. We cannot expect our goalie to keep winning games for us.
I don't know Eddie that well, but he has a great work ethic and that's why he's been in the game as long as he has.
Are we going to like it? I'm not sure, ... I don't like some of the games I'm seeing now.
He had lots of power-play time and it wasn't going for him. Maybe he was pressing, maybe the time away left some edge off his game and he might be ready to try again.
In two games (the opposition) has scored three tap-in goals. That's bad play on our part away from the puck.

I will never be an insider. I want to be the champion of people who don't have insiders and lobbyists supporting them.
