bonding either greatest helps maximum mix performance process strengths wins
One of the greatest strengths we have is we are a team. That doesn't get you wins either but it helps the process of bonding together. You mix that with maximum performance and a lot of effort, and you can be dangerous.
becomes game great hockey injury player win
Hockey is a game where intimidation is still a part of the game, and you'll go to great lengths to try to win a game. If you know a player has an injury or weakness, he becomes vulnerable. He becomes targeted.
credit defensive deserves dictates equation front good great guy last line marty numbers performance played team time year
I thought our team played a very good team defensive game. Hatcher had a great year and we played very well in front of Marty, but you can't get numbers like that without having an unbelievable performance from your goaltender. Marty deserves a lot of credit for that. He's the guy who a lot of time dictates a lot of the equation as the last line of defense.
captain great hungry job prove team
He has done a great job as captain of our team this year. I think they are all hungry to prove they can get the job done.

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.

The greatest thing is the players' spirits are unbelievable. You can tell they're anxious to get back. They missed the game, they love the game. That makes it great for a coach when you have that enthusiasm on the ice.

Fatigue was certainly a factor tonight, but we hung around and got ourselves a chance to win. Marty was great tonight.

You watch that team, and he's a dynamic player. He's great one-on-one. The thing that jumps out is how hard he works to score goals.
great players says
There's nothing that says great players can't get better. I think you see that with Jere every day.
exhibition mind penalty shot
He scored on a penalty shot and I think he was 3-for-3 or 4-for-4 in the exhibition season. I think he's 14-for-14. That's mind boggling.
energetic game good nice push rewarded
They play a very energetic style, and they do a lot of good things that push the game along. But it would be nice to see them get rewarded every now and then.
cares credit good number numbers wins
He's had a very good year. The number he cares most about is wins. The other numbers are inconsequential. That's a credit to him; 38 wins is a lot of wins.

He embraced the role and embraced his teammates, and his teammates, in the end, embraced him and played hard for him. That's the scenario we're trying to have.

It was never an issue for me. I have never received any indication that anything had changed.
