game good helped rookie worked
It helped him to go to the minors. He went down, worked on his game and got his confidence. In his rookie year, he was a little gun-shy. It was all new for him, but now he's comfortable. . . . We have a good chemistry.
blame
The refs are under a microscope. So we can't blame them.
excitement goals
I'm all for change. It's about excitement and entertainment, right? The way to do that is with more goals and more scoring.
calls difference learn referee
You have to learn what you can and can't get away with. Every referee is a little difference in how he calls it, too.
guys losing stop streak
We wanted to stop our losing streak and the guys were up to the test.
agreement definitely deserve last owners win won
We weren't going to win this battle. They won the last time. This is definitely an owner-friendly agreement. The owners want to make money. And now, if they don't, they don't deserve to have a franchise.
cup good last stanley test time
We didn't play last year, but they're still the Stanley Cup champions. It's a good test every time we play them.
against coaches good lines mold time top
There's a good young group, but it's going to take time to mold them into NHL defensemen. But that's part of learning. I went through it. Other coaches are going to put out the top lines against the more inexperienced defensemen. But in a way that's good, because then they get some experience.
wonder
He's so calm, sometimes I wonder if he even has a pulse.
gotten positive talk time
Things could change, but I've gotten some positive feedback. I'd like to come back, and we'll talk when the time is right.
checking five four guys jobs line shut space time
The more time and space he has, the more he can make plays. You have to take that away from him, try to shut him down. But he's really good. It's also going to take a whole checking line and four or five guys doing their jobs.
choice either heard toronto year
I've heard Toronto all year through the media. But either way, I don't have a choice in the matter.
came camp jobs
There's a lot of jobs open. More than any other camp I can remember. When I came up, there was only one.
gave given good group kept ourselves
The good thing is the group here could've given up being down 2-0, but we didn't. We just kept going and gave ourselves a chance.
