He's a much better scorer. He's been doing really good lately. But I didn't want him to score 30 on me. I didn't even want him to score 20. That doesn't happen.
I'm not letting him write anything. I didn't do anything. I just took his pen.
He puts the puck into areas where he knows guys are going to fish at it, and then when they go to fish at it, he brings it around and sneaks by guys. He uses his body well to protect the puck and then he rolls off of guys very well, makes tight turns, and takes it to the net. That creates a lot of room for other guys on his line, because if you beat a guy towards the net, sometimes another guy is going to challenge, and once that guy challenges, something else opens up.
If I can make him do what I want him to do, then I know where to put it. I find that you have to give some kind of fake to make him move.
I figured it wouldn't be long before he'd be an NHL coach,
It's usually hard to get a ticket, and there's a great atmosphere around the rink. It's fun for both the fans and the players. With Sergei coming back, it'll just add to the night.
Everybody says that it takes a loss to lose and I think it did take a loss for us to lose in a sense. But overall, when we win games here at Duke, and we don't play well, we might as well have lost the game.
That is what great players do. When they see their team struggle, they try to pick it up anyway they can. He did a great job.
They've just gotten better and better every year. They've drafted real well, and those young guys are developing into good players.
Not many people expected us to be No. 1, especially cutting our salary right in half.
A break here or there, we had our chances to score. Those breaks were going in for us the last few games. We can learn from this and move on.
A conference tournament is always fun. You have all the teams there at one time. And the good thing this year is that all the teams get along good. We will enjoy the atmosphere. Our first goal is to win Saturday and clinch the second seed. We want to at least get to the finals of the conference tournament. We've been there the last two years.
It started when I first picked up the ball because I was so much smaller than everyone I couldn't shoot; everyone would block my shot, ... I had to pass if I wanted to get on the court.
It's supposed to come in on Saturday, whatever, but it doesn't matter. If it comes in early, like a little bit, we could be stranded there. I was talking to my parents last night, joking around with them, but they were like, don't joke about that, it's not funny.
