adapted against came guys loved office rules seems studied training
He was one of the first guys in my office when the new rules came out in training camp. 'What can I do and what can't I do?' It seems like all the rules were going against guys like him. I loved his attitude. He came in and addressed it right away and asked, 'How am I going to play these situations?' He studied it and has adapted very well.
battles concern division erratic expect game guys poor scared winning
That game is a real concern because that's a big division game that you expect to play well in. That was a combination of poor mistakes, not winning one-on-one battles and erratic play. At times, you had guys scared to make a play.
player rules tremendous
He's a tremendous player who does everything so well. And he's going to be especially important under the new rules.
exciting guys ice wait
There's a lot of things that we're going to find out, but that's exciting to me. I can't wait to get these guys out on the ice and see what they can do as a group.
solutions trying
You think about a lot of situations. That's just part of coaching. You're trying to find solutions every day. We haven't had enough of them in the playoffs.

I think there will certainly be some movement, but there won't be the laundry list we have seen in the past.

I'm more excited than nervous. It's been a long wait.

They have skill, that's for sure. It's just the first day, obviously, but neither of them looked out of place out there.

Our power play got us back into the game. And we pushed in the third and got the ones we needed.
competing early earn people players spots themselves whittle
It's early and things will whittle themselves out. Players are competing for spots and minutes, and at the end of the day, the people who earn the spots are going to get it.
becomes deserve extra factor game outweigh rhythm seven stronger
It's not that seven don't deserve to play or can't play, but rhythm in the game becomes a stronger factor that will outweigh an extra player.
aggressive chasing hooking penalties people sticks
Penalties with the sticks and things like that are because we're not aggressive enough. If you're chasing people from behind, hooking them, you're going to get called all night.
both bringing club continue continued cup deal entire excited forward goal great moves provide pursue remain stability staff stanley success together ultimate
These moves will provide the club a great deal of stability as we continue to pursue our ultimate goal of bringing the Stanley Cup back to Dallas. I'm excited that the entire staff will remain together and we look forward to continued success both on and off the ice.
gave stepped time
Every time he stepped on the ice, he gave everything he had.
