Time is our enemy here. This small amount of time that we have here this week is the start of putting this team together. These guys have to find a way to come together and it starts here.
I believed in our group this past season, as well. While we did not achieve what we needed to, this group worked to deal with various obstacles, and I am proud of their efforts - especially their work in recent weeks (finished on 9-1-2 run) when they overcame significant odds to almost attain a playoff berth after we dug a huge hole for ourselves.
Where it is right now, in spite of everybody saying 'Oh, I love the new game,' I don't love the new game,
With the red line removed, ... those two will be able to play with the puck and make surprising passes.
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.
Mats was our great leader, Tie played with so much heart, and Tomas has developed into an outstanding all-around player.
I think they are pushing each other right now and it has helped them. I don't know if I'll play them together when the season starts, but right now in the exhibition games, they've been getting better and better.
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.
I was proud of how our guys bounced back,
I think we're going to have a lot of different looks,
You just cannot play that way. We cannot expect our goalie to keep winning games for us.
We had a lot of guys who wanted to play easy.
I have a job to do on policy. And I think that's what people want their governor to do. Not politics, policy.
I don't aspire to have high approval ratings. I aspire, in light of my two predecessors, to be the most honest governor I can be. I'd rather focus on honesty than popularity.
