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.
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.
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.
bit
It's still a little bit sore. It's going to take a little more time.
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.
happy ready room
I?m happy to be back in the room with the guys. I?m ready to get it going here again.
knee
The knee I don?t really think about. That ankle?s still there.
hat
It (the hat trick) is kind of a relief. It was one of the things that was really nagging me.
bit came exciting five game lots maybe scoring simple strong tonight
Tonight we were a bit more simple (in our play) and it showed in the score. The scoring came back around tonight. We had lots of chances. Maybe we could have had more than five (goals). But we did play strong tonight. It was an exciting game and we got two points.
I used to be a center. When I was 12 years old.
attention bit bracket great media mentioned names personally team
Definitely, to be mentioned in the same bracket as those names is a pretty big deal. It's a bit different here in Columbus, we don't have as much media. So to have that media attention is a great thing for me personally but also a great thing for the team and the organization as well.
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.
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.
chance left playoff wish
Personally, I wish there were another 30 or 40 (games) left and we had a chance at a playoff spot.
