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.
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.
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.
You just cannot play that way. We cannot expect our goalie to keep winning games for us.
Are we going to like it? I'm not sure, ... I don't like some of the games I'm seeing now.
In two games (the opposition) has scored three tap-in goals. That's bad play on our part away from the puck.
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 don't think we competed hard enough on the road this year. There were some games where we were in them and we let them go because we didn't know how to compete.
We thought about switching every day and creating new lines but then we decided not to, ... The whole idea here was the introduction of some concepts of play. Rather then have them worrying about adjusting to new guys every day, we wanted them to concentrate and focus on trying to absorb the system we want to play.
You can't draw that up on a chalk board. We have to compete better.
We don't want to get into a spot with Steve where we're going to cost him an opportunity someplace. But he is still determined that he is going to play on this hockey club. We're open to that too. It has a lot to do with the respect we have for him as a player and an individual.
One of the silly ones, in my opinion, is the automatic (penalty) for flipping the puck inadvertently up in the stands. We all know, and so do the officials, when it's intentional, so call the intentional ones.
The eyeball itself is fine. There's damage to the surrounding areas, but they weren't able to report if there is serious damage. I don't know what the time frame is for him to play again. I would bet there is significant swelling.
I think we're going to have a lot of different looks,
