We've proven to ourselves in here (how good they can be)and ultimately that is the important thing.
The rebound was there, and I just kind of tried to whack it and it found a hole and crossed the line.
When I see a 240-pound guy diving around like a squirt after taking one of our guys' knees out? I don't feel too good. I kind of feel embarrassed for him, actually.
Personally, I think he's the real deal. I've skated with him and have seen what he can do. But it's hard where everywhere he goes there's a press conference. It would be good for people to let him be a kid in the league and be a rookie and let him adjust as he goes.
These European teams are well-oiled machines. They get up by a goal and it's lockdown time.

There would be games where he would absolutely dominate and then he'd come to the locker room and tell us how poorly he had played.
There would be games he dominated and afterward he'd be saying how bad he played. He's never satisfied.
They've been skating the heck out of him. Obviously, a game is different than practice, but he's been working extremely hard. I wouldn't be surprised if he slides right in and does well right off the bat.
As a group we're kind of limping in there, so despite being one point away it's still a frustrating night. We came here to get two points, and we didn't.
That's more our game. We were able to play our style. But we'll take them any way we can get them right now.
I'm sure I'm not going to be sitting around, telling stories about it.
I definitely follow them in games like this.
It's probably a good thing to fly under the radar a little bit. Like any other poll or prediction, you want to be on top at the end, not the beginning.
