cheering though triple
Triple highlights. Even though we're (on the opposing team), we were cheering on the bench.
business cost giving great leads life point teams win
We had no business giving (Columbus) any life ... it cost us a point. Great teams find a way to keep leads and win especially at this point in the season.
aggressive beat coaches good hard
We've been working pretty hard at it. I think we've been a little more aggressive than we have in the past, and the coaches have been stressing that. It's going to take a pretty good play, we'd like to think, to beat us.
credit edmonton flat game played solid
We were a little flat on both. But give Edmonton credit. It played a solid game defensively and they can take you off your game.
allowed appointed biggest chosen concern due follow knows player players problem realize start supposed ted terrible vote
There is just a problem with the way Ted was chosen -- they didn't follow due process, ... No one knows if Trevor appointed Ted himself, which he had no right to do, because the player reps are supposed to vote on it also. The biggest concern is, no one knows what's going on, and that's a fact. Scott Mellanby , who is a player rep, had no idea that Ted even got an extension, and wasn't even allowed to vote on that. We realize it's not everybody, but there are some players that are unhappy. It's a terrible way to start the season.
coming
We're getting better every game. I don't think any of us can be getting frustrated. But we've got to do something constructive coming out of the round-robin.
country college bars
I've had some of the best times of my life at The KK. The best staff at the greatest college bar in the country!
running hockey nhl
So here I am running at guys who aren't taller than 5-foot-8, and I'm the one who tears up his knee.
liars believe nhl
Guys like him ruin it for everybody else. It's just embarrassing. Or maybe he's not embarrassed because he probably believes he's not doing it-that's how liars are.
emotional thinking talking
I'm 100 percent sure this is it. I know that I'll never play in the NHL again. It's not a hard decision. I think the hardest thing is you get a little emotional talking about your family. I couldn't have played any longer than I did and I accomplished what I wanted to.
hockey
When no one else signs me.
hockey thinking play
It takes brains. It's not like a forward, where you can get away with scoring and not play defense. On defense you have to be thinking.
five guys missing road scenario team trip week west worse
I don't think any team could have had a worse scenario than us, missing five guys and the week road trip on the West Coast. It's not an advantage, but that's the way it is.
happen seriously took
I don't think we took it as seriously from the beginning. That won't happen again.
