awful both everywhere gave great ice line meant stanley team top winning
He meant an awful lot to us, both on the ice and off. He had a great career, obviously, everywhere he was. But here, he solidified our team in the sense that he gave us a top two line person that made it a 1a and 1b situation, which no other team had at that time. He was very, very important to us winning our Stanley Cups.
great locker people special
Definitely, in John's case. It's very special to get these kind of people ? not just great players, but great people in the locker room.

He's started his medication already and it will solve his problem. He's in great shape and he's in great spirits. This has been something that has been lingering on and off and they finally figured out what it is.

He really hasn't had a great opportunity to play in Carolina. He's been behind some guys who are probably better than he is.
great move name
It was real simple. I surrendered right away. It's great to have his name on a contract, and now, we can move forward.

I think we'll take our time. The doctors said he could be working out in as soon as three days, but we'll monitor it and see how he's doing when he gets back.

I think the more experience he gets, the better. He could play in a tournament like this every other week as far as I'm concerned. It makes you a better player.

We thought the best precaution was to have him enter the hospital for observation.

You know I don't talk about that stuff.

We didn't sense that there was any problems with the shoulder. He passed the physical.
affect bring decisions future guys hockey operation people situation six spring terms time
We're down to a bare-bone operation in terms of players. After this weekend, we'll be down to 12 forwards, six defensemen and two goalies, and any time you get in that situation and have an injury, you can bring people up (from the American Hockey League) on emergency, and it doesn't affect what's going on down there in terms of being able to go back and play in the playoffs. That's important for us because we want to see these guys as much as we can this spring and make some decisions on them for the future and for our lineup in the future.
