That's fine. We're fortunate we can all play with everybody and expect success. I haven't exactly been tearing it up, so however I can help is going to be what I do.
You never want to say, 'This one's for him,' because nothing compares to that, but it's a good way to go home. We're finding ways to win games again.
The way they move the puck is fun to watch,
Playing the spoiler for other teams is not fun because you'd rather be playing to get yourself into the playoffs. But I guess it's making the best of a bad situation.
He has so much on his plate, we don't worry about his schedule.
We just haven't played with enough urgency when we've played them.
I haven't really thought that much about it. It's nice down here (in Phoenix). You don't hear that much about it hockey-wise.
I had to apologize to a lot of people. I had to tell them I don't know what happened and that I'm sorry.
In America, nobody has any idea what Wayne is. If you took Michael Jordan, Shaquille O'Neal, Derek Jeter, Brett Favre and kind of put them all into one, that type of following would almost be the same as what Wayne has in Canada.
It was huge, obviously. There's a lot of emotion in a home opener, and you want to come out controlled, work hard and stay disciplined enough, and we stayed with it.
He plays so physical, ... It's unbelievable how well he times his hits. You always want to get him and it's so hard to get him.
He's an emotional guy. You can get under his skin and think maybe you can throw off his game. I think it works the opposite. I think it fires him up more, and he's got that fire that's pretty intense.
I don't think Wayne is classified with anyone else. There's historical, and then there's him.
The first ten minutes of the game we were down 3-0. That makes it hard for us and we got it back and we didn't get a win again.
