almost changes guess natural pay seemed somebody team
When a team is struggling, somebody has got to pay and I guess it was his turn. The team went through so many changes this year, a lot of things changed, and it seemed like it was almost natural just to go even higher.
bit coming definitely hopefully pressure
There's definitely a little bit of pressure coming to a new team, hopefully it's not going to show up too much on the ice.
business gm guess happens pay somebody team
It happens in the league. (Mike) made those calls, he was the GM and that's the business we play in. When a team is struggling, somebody has got to pay and I guess it was his turn.
business gm goes happen happens seems time trades
It happens in the league. He made those calls, he was the GM at the time and that's the business we play in. It seems like if you don't perform, trades happen and sometimes it goes even higher.
couple definitely fast games guy hockey pressure shown step talented team tough
He's definitely a talented guy. Right now, he's been put in a tough situation. He's shown a lot in his first couple of games but there's so much pressure on our team right now. He's had to step in and play well right away and I think he'd done that. He's got a lot of skill, he's a pretty fast guy and he has a lot of hockey sense.
team terrific works
He's a terrific player. He's tricky. He makes a lot of plays. He makes that team a lot better. Him being out of their lineup works to our advantage.
bad good reached rebound shot stick took trying
I got a rebound and I had kind of a bad angle, and I was just trying to put it on net. I actually took a pretty good shot at it and I thought it was going in, but the goalie reached it with his stick and made a pretty good save.
ice start
I didn't start on time. I am getting out there, but it's going to be slow. I'm not going to get on the ice and kill myself.
hard hopefully ready
Hopefully it's not that major. I hope I can play (tonight). We'll see how it is, I guess. I'll try it out and see if I'm ready to go. It's just a sprain. It's hard to say how it is. We'll see. It's probably just a day-to-day thing.
definitely hopefully played playing travel western
Hopefully it's not that long, but there's definitely going to be some adjustment. I've never played in the Western Conference, the travel is a little different, but in the end you're just playing hockey.
definitely door few good left played stay talked team
I definitely would like to stay here. I like the city, I've played on this team for a long while and I've got a lot of friends here. It would make sense to stay here. . . . We talked a few times about a long-term deal, but it just never got off the ground. We left on pretty good terms. The door is still open.
appreciate looking sure
I appreciate what they did for me. I didn't know anything about systems. Looking back, they just let me play and I'm sure I made some mistakes.
score thank
You can thank the two goaltenders for the score being 2-1 tonight,
lead
Once we have a lead we have to try and keep it. It's two frustrating losses.
