add consider depth guys help playoff run teams throughout
If it's going to help the organization, you have to consider that and make that move. We've got some guys that would really add some depth to other teams throughout the NHL, especially those teams that are on a playoff run or in the playoffs.

He's a finesse player who understands the game. He's not a true guard or a true post, but he's a nice combination of both.

He deserves everything he's gotten here. He's worked hard; he's been a good leader in the room; he's been a tremendous leader on the ice. He's been terrific for us all year long.

He is very good at playing the passing lanes, stopping dribble penetration and boxing out.

He will have the opportunity to get good ice time. His role might be more than with some other teams. And put in that situation, I think he'll play well. I expect a real good year number-wise.

He gives is a chance to win every night. He made some great saves on their 5-on-3 (during the final minute of the second period and first minute of the third.
confidence dropped greedy lost net ok shoot
When he first came, his play was OK and then it's dropped off of late. I think he's lost his confidence a little bit. He's got to shoot more. He's got to go to the net and be a little more greedy with the puck.
coming decisions ice move players time
We couldn't give (Downey) the ice time that he thought he needed, so we had to make a move and take a look at some of these young players because we've got to make decisions on them coming up.
almost amount bound deserved good hard minutes penalty played time tough trouble
We played hard tonight, I thought we had a good effort. We had penalty trouble once again, some deserved and some not. You get into two 5-on-3 (power plays) for that amount of time, that's tough -- they're bound to get a score. It was almost 19 minutes of power-play time for them.
good played
We played hard, I thought we had good effort.

He's probably looking at ... in a full year ... probably getting 20-25 goals.
ball coming found great hit home moved open spots start
Coming out quick, especially on your home court, is a great way to start a game. We moved the ball real well, found open spots and hit open shots.
happened last leads lose maybe momentum three
It's been going on for maybe the last two or three games. That's what has happened with the leads we've had. Because we take penalties, we lose momentum and then we lose the lead.
enjoy fans lots open players quick
Oh, it was terrific. I think once we get going here, the fans are going to really enjoy our game, as you can see out there. It's a quick game, there's lots of open ice, so I think the more the players get used to the rules, the better the game's going to be.
