sports psychology quality
Maybe one of the qualities of being a great coach is being [a jerk]. There are quite a few of them around.
giving-up hockey thinking
I don't think you ever stopped Bobby Orr. You contained Bobby Orr, but you never stopped him. When we played the Bruins and Bobby had to give up the puck, it was a good play.
game gave good
For the most part, we did a lot of really good things. The only thing I didn't like was when we got up we started to not do the things we were doing for the first part of the game that gave us the success.
based discuss evidence felt hope jury laid obviously rather
I'd rather not discuss what I would have done. I don't think that's relevant.... Obviously the jury felt it was appropriate based on the evidence as it was laid out. I hope we did okay.
morning talk wife yesterday
Even yesterday I didn't know what I wanted to do. I called my wife in the morning ... I couldn't talk to her on the phone.
certainly guys
Not the same way as a Scotty did, but we certainly have guys who can play physical. I don't know how much now you're going to be able to do that kind of stuff.
carolina chance enjoyed estate football francis guys hear huge kids loves ron ryan son taking talking year
Talking to Scotty (Stevens), he has kids and he enjoyed taking his son Ryan to football practice. I could hear it in his voice. I know that Ron Francis has a huge estate in Carolina and he loves it. Those guys never had a chance to take a year off before and they got used to it.
marty protection run
They have to get more protection for the goalies, ... All they did was run Marty all night.
chances gets giving head matter stand time
It's just a matter of time before he gets hurt, if we keep giving up chances where he has to stand on his head all the time like that. Something's going to happen.
changed cultures days everybody funny game guys lunch nice occasions similar sitting soda today together whether
It's funny. I think the game has changed in that in the old days guys used to hang around a lot more together because everybody pretty well had similar interests. Today there's different cultures and different personalities. Now, not everybody does the same thing. When you do get occasions such as this, it's always nice to get out with your teammates. You find out a lot about each other when you're just sitting around, whether it's lunch or having a soda or whatever.
playing whatever
They're playing terrific. Whatever he's doing, it's working.
bit enthusiasm focused guys seemed
There seemed to be a little bit more life, a little more enthusiasm. Guys were probably a lot more focused when we got on the ice.
alex game last
The last game was the old Alex Mogilny.
fragile guys running zone
I thought defensively we were in much better position. We're a little fragile in our own zone sometimes and guys will get running around a little bit. I thought our positioning was much better.
