By no way, shape or form was I pointing the finger at our goaltender. He made the stops, but on the rebounds, our coverage wasn't there.

For some of these players who haven't played for some 16 months, it shows that there's a commitment to preparation and that's always a positive.
If he's symptom-free for 48 hours from (Tuesday), then he'll start to work out. I would say at day five or six, we'll allow him to skate.
I changed all the lines because we were so flat. We had to find some sort of change.
I couldn't even fathom to judge who it's going to help or not help. I think every coach is doing the same thing, just trying to put together a plan that allows their group to hit the ice, whenever they start, on all cylinders.
He's the last guy in the world you want to let shoot the puck from there.
He's a pro. That's what he's here for...(he's) capable of doing those things.
He's not just a scorer, ... For us to have success and for him to be a part of that and fit into to what we're trying to build and get back to where he was as a player, he's got to be a complete player. He's held up his end of the bargain. You cannot say that he hasn't given an honest effort every night.
I don't like to individually make comments about players, when it's from a negative point. The assessment I look at is, he wasn't as sharp as he needed to be and our team wasn't as sharp as it needed to be.
In playoffs and critical games, specialty teams are usually the difference-maker.
I guess I won't have to wear my down-filled coat and ski mitts, or shovel the driveway.
The Ducks will play a high tempo, aggressive forecheck, puck-moving style. That's what we're about.
These points are up for grabs and any team in our position has to win our share of games. If you don't you are not going to make the playoffs.
