It happened pretty quickly. We're sitting up here for a hockey game and they're going through a hurricane. If we'd known ahead of time it was going to be that bad we'd have tried to get everybody out of there.
ecstatic florida great group guys hockey impact opportunity toronto younger
I just know we're ecstatic about the opportunity to come down with probably a younger group of guys than we had in Toronto and a great goaltender in Luongo. We feel we can make an impact and make the Florida Panthers a better hockey team.

If everybody buys into the system and is disciplined, then that's going to give us much more chance of winning some hockey games.

It's really fun to be back out playing again. It's been a long layoff for everybody. Old or young, I think it's real exciting for everybody to get back and get back in that routine of being a hockey player.

I think the smartest thing they've done is invest in youth speedway. They run the youth races every week. They've helped the kids, encouraged the kids and they've made a big deal out of it. Now there's about a dozen Division I riders that have gone through that youth program.

Joe did a great job getting position in front of the net. I threw it in front and he's got pretty good hands, so he was able to deflect it in.

We'll take a little extra time this time around to make sure it's 100 percent.

We made it exciting for the fans, that's for sure. But we don't want to do that very often.

Unfortunately the service will be restricted to the regular parishioners and others who may attend from time to time,

We're not used to playing that way, most of us. It's going to take some time.
