It's so amazing, it's hard to believe, ... I was just fortunate to get that shot. I got lucky with that shot.
It's always frustrating when you lose that many in a row. It shows a lot about us. We all believe that if we kept working the way we would it wouldn't take us long to put it all together.
It makes it a little easier, and we play with a lot more confidence, when we get a lead.
It's a pretty incredible feeling. It's so amazing, it's hard to believe.
It's going to be nice just to talk to him and talk about some hockey things. It's been busy, with the lottery and the draft, and I just want to get started and see what the level of play is like and get out there and push myself and get ready for the season.
It's getting used to the speed, and in a practice atmosphere like that the passes are harder, the guys are stronger, so getting used to it is going to take a little bit of time. I definitely see a bit of improvement as I go on out there, It's going to help me, definitely, when I come here.
It's frustrating. I go out for five minutes, come back in and get hit in the face from the same guy.
It's been awesome. Obviously, at the start, when I first met him and started to live with him, he's an easy guy to talk to. But at the same time, you're always still uncomfortable. It's a guy you grew up watching and idolizing and now you're living with him and playing with him. So right now it's been great. We get along great.
It's just frustrating to lose, that's pretty much it. I thought we played better but I don't think our standard should be compared to the last game we played here. We played better than that but it's not good.
It's just frustrating losing, that's pretty much it. Either way, it (stinks) to lose. I thought we played better. We still have better in us. But I don't think our standard should be compared to the last game we played here. If we're trying to play better than that, it's not good. We have to play to our own level.
It's just tough to see him leave. He's had such an impact on the game. He's really got a passion for the game. I don't think anyone ever should have to deal with so much.
It seems longer. It's never easy losing. For us, it makes us realize how tough it is, especially against the best team in the league. That was probably one of the biggest challenges we've had.
It wasn't our best game but we tried to regroup and stay with it. The big difference was Marc. He kept us in it. We'll take it.
It was good just to see him out there with us. Hopefully he will see how his body feels and get back out there.
