difficult good lost people realize seem touch tough
It?s a tough job. People don?t realize how difficult that is. I was good at it when I was 12. I seem to have lost my touch a little bit.
best good knew
We knew we wouldn't have our best stuff. Fortunately we had a pretty good goaltender. If he's not an All-Star, I don't know who is.
dave fit goal good guy healthy hit jump king played player role star team third throw top tough using
They didn't throw me on one of the top lines, but they didn't keep me out as a healthy scratch, either. I think Dave King and Doug were using me well, and I think it was good development for me. I couldn't think of a better team to come to for a young guy than Columbus. You aren't just going to jump in and be a star player at 18. It's tough to be a star in the NHL. I just fit in and played my role on the third line, and just kind of hit and chipped in with a goal here or there when I could.
good start surprise
Hopefully, we get off to a good start and surprise some people.
bad caught coming freak good skate
It was kind of a freak incident. It was a good hit, it just kind of caught my skate in a bad rut. Obviously, I don't like coming back here now.
change coming good lucky net pay puck saw tried worked
I just went to the net and saw the puck coming and tried to make it change directions. Lucky enough, it worked out. You go to the net, and good things are going to pay off.
guy healthy marc maybe periods playing running saw stay three time
It was unbelievable that a guy could do that and stay healthy for that long of a time and play to that caliber, ... I maybe saw it in like bantam, but it's a little different playing three 10-minute periods at running time. It was really unbelievable what Marc did.
I used to be a center. When I was 12 years old.
fed great half ice
I was fed up with (the attention) after a half a day. What he has been able to do on and off the ice has been great for our game.
hot tons
We had tons of chances. When you're hot you're hot, and when you're not, you're not.
anybody coming head middle sure
I am sure if I was coming through the middle with my head down, anybody would do the same thing to me.
four game joe mold three
I'd like to play like Joe Thornton does right now. I try to mold my game around his. If you say four years, three years down the road, if I could be where he is, then I'd be pretty happy.
chance left playoff wish
Personally, I wish there were another 30 or 40 (games) left and we had a chance at a playoff spot.
five lost pounds
I lost five pounds over the summer, and I know where they went. Nash has them.
