anywhere close definitely fifty pursuing remotely telling
I'm pursuing it, because we are responsible for it. But we definitely aren't going anywhere remotely close to $2,000. I'm telling you. If they want to hose us, it would be fifty bucks.
four guy penalty screws skaters takes unit
Penalty killing takes all four skaters and the goaltender working together. If one guy screws up on the PK, you're in trouble. It's very much a unit thing.
closed simply slam
I didn't slam it. I simply closed it. It's a new building, sometimes things go wrong.
bargaining good player
He was the only player they wanted. We were not in a very good bargaining position.
assuming bit fighting good knows street
He's all heart. I'm assuming he's done a good bit of street fighting in his day. He just knows how to fight.
attempt avoid call clearly finally player
I finally got a call back and they said there should have been a penalty. The player has to make an attempt to avoid contact, and the player clearly didn't.
anybody beginning improved
He improved as much as anybody in our lineup from the beginning of the season.
deserving
He's a very knowledgeable, efficient, hard-working trainer. He's very deserving of this.
close games injured likely missed player punishment remotely respect three
As I told the league, I respect their opinion, but we've got an injured player who's already missed three games and he's likely going to miss six. The punishment is not remotely close to what it should be.
certainly complete effort quite win
It's certainly a relief. This was our most complete effort in quite a while, and that's what we needed. We weren't going to win any other way. It wasn't going to come easy.
care caring game passing played practice
Our passing was abysmal. Passing is a caring skill. If you care to put the pass on the guy's tape, you can make it. I haven't played a game in 30 years and I know I can do it. I do it in practice every day.
chance contribute everybody extra guys roles succeed
Sometimes you just have to find that extra gear, that extra level. Even with the guys we're missing, having everybody contribute in their roles will give us a chance to succeed any night.
bunch played
Their 13 were much better than our 16 because they played as a team. We had a whole bunch of individuals.
fact great huge loss played respect stayed
He's a huge loss for us. One of our veterans. One of our captains. And the fact that he stayed and played (Friday) ... I just have great respect for him.
