best burden hockey interested looked means people
I've never looked at it as a burden and I don't think I ever will. It's exciting. It means that people are interested in hockey and that's important. That's the best part about it.
best cases doubt fail form games ice job junior people played prove speculate step time
People can speculate that for sure, and why not? ... I haven't played in the NHL and only played (24) games in junior so there are going to people who speculate. There will always be people who doubt me and want to see me fail and every time I step on the ice it is my job to prove people wrong. In the cases where they like the way I play it is to prove them right. I just want to go out there every game and do my best and let people form their opinions.
blame coach guy held himself lose losing people respect skates
We're a family. When you lose a guy like that it's like losing people in your family. He was always there. He was the first one to take the blame and held himself responsible. As a player, it's not something you like to see. The coach doesn't put on his skates and go out and play. There's only so much he can do. I have a lot of respect for him.
anticipate energy excited excitement hockey nice people rub seeing showing sure town welcoming
I didn't anticipate anything I was just showing up and seeing what the town and people were about, but it was a very welcoming sight. I'm sure the energy and excitement in town are going to rub off on the players. It's nice to see everybody's so excited about getting hockey started.
bad people team tough trust watch win
It's tough right now. It's tough for everyone, I'm sure. It's tough for the people that watch us sometimes, too, because they want to see the team win, and trust me, we want to win as bad as they want to see us win.

The people in Buffalo called their supervisor from the baggage area out on the ramp, and I spoke to him, ... He said he had unloaded that plane and that he was positive it didn't happen here.
business dream dreaming given grow hard influence maybe mean obviously people side understand
I don't know, it's tough. I haven't really given it a lot of thought but my dream is to play in the NHL. I think if I do have the opportunity, I would probably go. I mean you grow up dreaming to play. Obviously I can understand the other side of it too, I understand it's a business and I know that there are things going on, that maybe myself and other people don't know, that do influence a lot of guys' opinions. It's hard for me to say right now. I just want to get there. It's my dream.
thinking people way
People are going to have their opinions. Whether it's good or bad, I don't really think about it either way.
behind climbed costs fallen mistake seems
We've been there a lot this year. We've fallen behind and climbed our way back, but it seems like one mistake we make and sometimes it costs us.
early expect few game giving might rebounds seemed solid wore
When a goalie is off for that long, you expect he might be a little rusty. Early on, he was giving out a few more rebounds than normal. If we had jumped on a few on those, it might have been different. As the game wore on, he seemed to get more comfortable and he was pretty solid back there.
mind nice win
It would be nice to win it, but it's not on my mind a lot.
nice third win
It would have been nice to get the third win in a row, but it's nice to at least get the point.
came confidence empty good net nice scare test
It would have been nice to get an empty net goal. We had a little scare when they came back in the second. But it was a good test for us, a test of character. It showed the confidence we have in each other now to come back.
easy learn pack played proud third time
It would have been easy to pack it in. Hopefully, we can learn from this, but at the same time we have to be proud with the way we played in the third period.
