hope sure
I sure hope they won?t let something like that happen.
bigger defensive games improving learn learned offensive playing sure
We've been able to use these games to learn a lot. We've learned a lot about playing on the bigger ice, about playing in the offensive and defensive zones, and what we've got to do to make sure we keep improving as a team.
anyone behind closer good score sure
It was closer than the score indicated and we just wanted to make sure that we didn't let anyone behind us, and we did a good job, especially in the first.
asked bed bring change color colors paint sure wants whatever
The first thing he (Callan) asked was, 'Can I bring my Zamboni bed?' I said, 'Sure, you can bring the Zamboni bed, and you can paint it whatever color you want.' He said he wasn't sure he wanted to change its colors yet. The other one just wants a cat. We're not getting a cat.
bit fun nervous sure
I haven't thought about it too much. I'm sure I'll think about it more (today). I'll be a little bit nervous probably, but it will be fun to be back.
came early last sure time
I came back too early the last time so I just wanted to make sure I was ready.
age department depth dressing good guys last leaders leaders-and-leadership leadership matter tournament
Last tournament (2004 World Cup), there were so many good leaders in that dressing room, guys know what's on the line. I think we have a lot of depth in the leadership department no matter what the age is.
bad early half season sliding teams
I said early on, we were going to have our bad times and we were going to have our streaks. Right now, there are teams sliding and streaking, and we?re streaking. And there?s still a half season to go. Hey, you never know.
although canada guys hard love schedule talk
I think guys talk about that, let's make it one or the other. Every two years I think it's hard to get the guys together, especially with the way the NHL schedule is. Although personally, I love the old Canada Cup.
approach given night ready respect
I think it's like the NHL now. Any given night, if you're not ready or you're not focused, anything can happen. So that's the approach you have to take ... respect your opponent.
behind few good guys hard hurts likes past start team
When you're a young team it's probably better to start from the bottom. It hurts. It hurts a lot. You don't like it. No one likes it. But you learn. Sometimes it's a hard way to learn. That's behind us now and we have to look ahead. I think guys feel pretty good about what's been going on here the past few months.
character coming few mistakes team wants win
We showed a lot of character coming back tonight. This team really wants to win and if we can put away a few mistakes it's going to make things a lot easier.
looked power together
We showed a little frustration. We looked a little scrambly on power plays. We didn't play together on the power play tonight.
costs desperate extra hard itself maybe pressure team time
We should play desperate all the time -- why not? This team is so hard on itself that sometimes we put extra pressure on ourselves. Maybe we shouldn't because it costs us sometimes.
