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.
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.

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.
We had some big goals to keep tying it up, but we needed to find a way to get that lift and to get the one to get the lead. We never managed to get the lead.
You grow up playing five games in three days in tournaments. It's like going back to peewee hockey again.
We played the whole game in our zone and we can't afford to do that. This is a challenge to each one of us in this room to be better.
We have to stick together now. No one is going to feel sorry for us. We have to find ways to pull ourselves out of this.
That was huge. Johnny's one of those guys that you really cheer for because he does so much for us every night.
He's a big man. You never want to be caught in his tracks.
He's a fiery guy. The way he played is the way he coached, and you love that as a player to know that your coach is on your side and is into the game as much as you are.
He's 19 points ahead of the next closest guy on our team. He's able to create things from nothing on offense.
I was so excited and so honored to be named part of the team, and for that to happen, it blows my mind. I've done absolutely nothing (wrong), and I've had to defend myself through all of Canada.
