bigger changes guys means players respect rules today wore
The rules change, a lot changes in hockey. I think we need to show respect to the players who wore those numbers. If that means guys today have bigger numbers, so be it.
centre guy injury move position run solid
What we like about Radek is that he can be a solid No. 3 centre for us and if we run into injury problems, then he is the kind of guy who can move up to the No. 1 or No. 2 position with no problem,
adapt apply continues course extra game guys players rules spend time top trend unit unless wear
We are going to have to do something before we really wear out our top guys with all of the power-plays we're now seeing.

Jose made some big saves in the third to keep us in the game.

That episode is over, he's paid his dues,
knowing page turned
That was uncharacteristic of him. For me, it's about him knowing we've turned the page on that and that we just want him to use his skills.
definitely early goal period quick second
We get an early goal and we think we're on the right track. Then we give up two quick ones. Our second period was definitely the period that killed us.
fortunate ice involved people players position rules top variety
We're fortunate to have players who can play a variety of roles. With the new rules and all the penalties, we have to be in a position where we can get as many people involved so that our top players aren't on the ice all the time.
