bother call decided fine looked opportunity review reviewing tape trust whether worth
It doesn't bother me at all. Whether you like it or not, it's irrelevant. The call was made and (the IIHF) had the opportunity to review it and they looked at the tape and decided it wasn't worth reviewing and I'm fine with that. I trust them on that.
drafted impressive man saw seen surprised time
I haven't seen anything that's surprised me, ... I saw him a lot before we drafted him. He's an impressive young man and an impressive young player. He's got a long way to go, but he's going to play in the NHL for a long time one day.

gross leg players until
The players thought it was pretty gross because my leg was just black. I limped around until the end of January.
dog mentality team
We really have to have a junkyard dog mentality and that's the way we have to play. I want us to be a very disciplined, committed, hard-working team and in your face.
We're going to make mistakes, I know we are. But they will be corrected.
