bear control love narrow opponent possibilities round study
I would like to know who the first round opponent is, but I really have no preference. We can't control any of that. What I'd love is to narrow it down to one or two possibilities so we can bear down and study those teams.

I'll take 100 points, but the guys got me a gift and my parents said, 'When you get a gift you should wear it.
decided four games guys handle hurt minute playoff series three wear
In a long series, they're going to wear down all our old guys. I think our young guys can handle a long series. You look around at every playoff series, they're not decided in three games and they're usually not decided in four games. Not for a minute do I think a long series will hurt our team.

game happy liked played sound
I liked the way he played the game. He really had a sound game. I'm getting happy with where the team's at right now.
area ownership stepped sudden team tom viable western york
I think all of a sudden there is some stability. Tom stepped in and said he's going to keep the team in western New York and that he's going to try to make it a viable proposition here. There was a lot of speculation that if there was no ownership the team may leave. And I don't think that's one thing this area can afford.

Camp for them is going to be very competitive for them. They all have experience now, and they all believe that they can be a No. 1. And I think they all think they can be our No. 1 this year, so we are looking for one, two or all three of them to make a big statement in camp.
came camp determination energy fit grown impressed matured passion ready seemed type work
I'm very impressed with the determination he put into the work in the off-season to get where he's at. He came into camp with the type of passion and energy that really fit our style. It just seemed like he had grown up and matured and was ready to go full-bore ahead.

In the last two minutes of the first period, that's as big of a blow that you can suffer when you are in your building.
build people players rank top year
I rank him right up there with the top all-around performers. People build up names. But I think he's having a better year than some players on the team.
looking motion puck range shooting taylor week
He's shooting the puck pretty well. The range of motion and everything's good. Taylor I would put in the day-to-day category, but you're probably looking more at a week to 10 days.
kept seeing
He's seeing doctors, and we'll see where we'll go. In all likelihood, we feel it's that direction. That's why we've kept him out.
healthy team weeks
He's sore. . . . Could he play? I think if it was a do-or-die situation, we may take the chance. But we need a healthy team weeks from now, not right now.
