darn defensive good inability stronger third understand zone
I was disappointed with our inability to be stronger in the defensive zone (in the third period). I understand why, but we were pretty darn good through two periods.
approach bit camp chance failed feeling good guys hard laid last manner nice realize resting short skate summer team work year
We want to get back that good feeling that we had two years ago. It was a long summer to realize that we failed so miserably. It's nice to get back to work and give yourself and chance at redemption. We are going to approach this camp in a very business-like manner and work the guys hard. We won't be resting a lot of guys. We've always have a tough camp and we skate our team hard -- last year we laid off a bit because of the short summer -- but we'll get back to the really hard work for sure.
absolutely enjoyed game gracious great honest mind missing national olympics shake shows somebody stick watched
To be honest with you, a lot of the shows before the game you wouldn't mind missing but this one we absolutely enjoyed being a part of. I don't know how you couldn't be (inspired). She was gracious to stick around and shake each one of our sweaty palms. She's somebody you just watched at the Olympics become a national treasure. It was great we got to be part of this.

I don't care what league you're in when you play six (games) in eight (nights) you're going to be back on your heels. With the injuries we have, you're going to be in tough.

The only negative was that we didn't score on the power play.

I think he should celebrate how he got here, because it's a great story, ... At the very least, now he knows he's done what he set out to do and he's getting equal consideration. He's in the group.
added consider gm jim player trade
Jim Rutherford was the GM at the time. I was an asset. They could have added a player to make them better. Instead, they said we can trade you if you want but would you consider coaching?
almost coach later lead
Later in his career, he was almost like another coach for us, ... He would lead and we would follow.
marc respect stand teammates
Marc will always stand up for his teammates like that. That's why they respect him so much.
difficult fellow four happy shot sit stops
J-F (Racine) was the fellow I'm most happy with. It's very difficult to sit there with one shot through 12 minutes...And then four breakaways at the end, he stops them all.
behind bit drew game guys helped hooking penalties played smart
I thought when we played when we could, we played a real smart game. We've got some guys who were a little bit behind and drew hooking penalties and I don't think the way the game was called helped us.
ended fault
I can't find any fault in our game, I'm just disappointed in the way it ended up.
