affected anyone associated experience guys handle talks team
Obviously, I've never been associated with a team for sale, that kind of thing, and I don't think many guys have. I don't think anyone has any experience on how to handle something like that. But it hasn't affected us. I don't think anyone even talks about it.
guys obvious playing pride seeing
I don't think there's any pressure. It's pretty obvious we're not going to make the playoffs. It's about playing for pride and some self-respect, and that's why you're seeing guys play really hard.
believed guys
The guys really believed that we could come back.
everybody mature shift tough watching
I think he can be a superstar. Everybody is watching him, but he handles it so well. It's tough when everyone is watching you on every shift ... but he's very mature for his age.
exactly hard mark moves pittsburgh sell
Mark didn't exactly have to sell me hard on Pittsburgh at all. The Penguins, after all the moves they had made, weren't really a hard sell.
everybody game good team
I think everybody understands that (Saturday's game) is not the way we can perform, it's not acceptable, and it's over with. There's nothing we can do about it now. The only thing we can do is have a good game (today) and show that that wasn't our team on Saturday.
came good hopefully locker mood
We came back here refreshed. Everyone's in a good mood in (the) locker room. Hopefully we can keep it up.

He's going to be a superstar in this league.
hit knew
I don't even think Yashin knew he hit the puck.
happiness happy played saturday
We weren't happy with the way we played Saturday and we're still not happy.
atmosphere games hang morale team win
Right now, any win is really big for us. Team morale has been pretty low, and it's important for us to win games and get that atmosphere going around here. We know that we can play the right way and hang on to a lead.
build guy shaping
You would think so. If you look at the way the team's been shaping up and the way things have been going, this team's about the future. You have to build for the future. You don't know how realistically a guy like me is part of the future.
hung morale played quite
The way we hung on and played quite well at the end, that's a big morale boost.
behind ourselves tough work
We really got to work on making ourselves accountable earlier. We put ourselves behind the eight-ball and it makes it a tough game.
