We can't stress enough the specialty teams and how important they are. If you want to win in the league now you have to have a good power play and then that's going to make it a lot easier.
It's pretty nice. It's kind of the old style. Hockey has a lot of tradition so I think it's good to have kind of the old-school look.
It was nice to contribute in that game and being to play in that whole World Cup is something I'll never, ever forget. But they're going to pick the best team they think has the best chance to win and they've had a pretty good success of doing that at this point.
It's something that you deal with. We have good leadership in this room, so we'll be more than OK in that area. Something like this makes you realize that hockey isn't important in the grand scheme of things, and our thoughts and prayers are with the whole Gretzky family.
Everyone's excited about that, but then you add the fact that every day Wayne Gretzky is going to be our coach -that's pretty special.
Everyone's disappointed that they just don't get to be around him every day. His credentials and his character are very unique. He was fun to be around.
It's encouraging that we're going in the right direction, but the goal is to make the playoffs. We're getting close.
It's disappointing. You have a chance at home to make a stand and we haven't done that.
It's a big thing we've been preaching pucks and people to the net and we finally got one to go in,
It's a big thing we've been preaching -- pucks and people to the net -- and we finally got one to go in,
Those are huge moments that I'll always remember. And I'll never forget the last game we played there before moving to Phoenix. It was the loudest building I've ever been in for a sporting event ever. I couldn't hear what my teammates were saying.
We don't have any room to lose. Every loss for us is huge.
That's no fun to miss the playoffs. The World Championships was great, but you want to play in the playoffs. That's why you play the 82 games, so to go home early is no fun. Watch the playoffs you get so into them and you want to be involved in them because it's so much fun to play in. To not be able to play in the postseason is really tough to take.
