close games involved likely next people player quite special sure time win wish
I think the two people involved would likely wish it would just go away. This time it's not quite the same as it was the first time. There's special games for each player in the room. It's a close group, and I'm sure they would like to win for Alex, but it's just our next game.
anytime clear fact given good hard percent player practice respect skate team wants worked
I respect the fact he's worked hard through this and been a good team player for us. Anytime there's been a skate or practice or meeting, whatever, he's given us 100 percent of his time and effort. But he's made it clear he wants to leave.
players seemed
We were intimidated by their players and their speed. It seemed like we were in awe.
consistency great handle hockey players sure test
His test is going to be consistency. The great players do it for 10 years, and I'm sure that he will be able to handle that. He's just so all about hockey that I can't see why he wouldn't.
build dynamic player team
He's a dynamic player, a player you can build a team around.
assumption hear players ready sure until
I always go under the assumption that players are going to play until I hear differently. I'm sure he'll be ready to go.
best good pieces player slide
This is part of the progression of being a good team, having these pieces slide together. Ollie was outstanding. He was our best player out there.
exciting game goodness gracious players rules speed
With the new rules and the speed of the players and the way that the game was officiated tonight, if that's the way it's going to be, then goodness gracious -- it's an exciting game out there.
coach emphasize focus forget goal good great lose model outlook pat people players role ruin sight wrong
I really want to emphasize that we have good people here and we can never lose sight of that. Sometimes people focus on the things that went wrong and forget we have great players. I have told the players that I will be patient. ... I had a role model in my coach Pat Quinn when I was a player. He had a goal that he would never ruin anyone's outlook on the game.
alex consistency continue peaks players seem valleys
His consistency is amazing. All first-year players seem to have some peaks and valleys to their game, and Alex is able to continue to play well.
good great guys loved nine players tonight work
I loved it. They work so hard, and tonight was just a great endorsement of what these guys do. We were down to nine forwards. We had no players left, and in the end the ones we had were spent. For the guys we were able to put on the ice, I thought they did a pretty good job.
best definitely falling far hard hockey line main players reason won worked year
(Johnson's) falling in line with all of the players that have worked hard all year long. To be rewarded, it's good. That definitely by far was his best game. He was the main reason we won the hockey game.
guys hard pay physical played proud teams
I thought our guys played hard and we're proud of them. We played right through to the end. We're a physical team, and we're going to make teams pay the price.
ahead exhibition focusing light regular steps sure taken work
We have some work ahead of us, but we're not focusing on our first exhibition game. We're focusing on the light at the end of the tunnel. We want to make sure all steps are taken before we get to the regular season.
