along awful category eddie guy makeup maybe overall people players risking terms thoughtful types
In terms of the makeup of our overall team, we've got an awful lot of players who are thinking-type players. Eddie is in the category of a guy that's very passionate, is maybe a risking personality. You need those types of people along with the thinking, thoughtful players you have to make it all mesh.
comeback composure determination ended goals good great period power three
It was a great comeback win. We used the end of the first period to recompose ourselves. We showed some good determination and composure and ended up getting three goals on the power play.
liked period second sharks
The second period was all Sharks and I liked the way we responded.
third
He was a difference-maker in the third period.
last night ready thinking
Our thinking was last night he was ready to play.
chances eliminate game goals three type
The three giveaways we made on the goals were big errors. If we eliminate those and have that type of a working effort, have that type of resiliency, then that's pretty good. We'll take our chances with that type of game any time.
difficult extremely played player year
I think it was an extremely difficult year for Todd. It is probably understated to say it's been the most difficult year for any player that has played in the NHL.
assertive couple good lazy penalties start took
I don't think we were complacent, I don't think that we got the start that we had wanted. We weren't very good on a couple of shifts. We took lazy penalties tonight. We weren't assertive enough when we went to battle.
build
It may not have been a classic, but it's something we can build on.
playing todd
Right now Todd is playing so well, we could probably play him in net.
challenge game goal playing power rise road seemed stingy third wind
Once they scored on the power play, I don't think we mounted much after that. We were playing a stingy road game and I thought we'd rise to the challenge of the third period, but that first goal seemed to take all the wind out of our sails.
cap leave people room situation sure year
It's unfortunate that you've got to do these things, but that's what we have to do with this cap situation this year and make sure we leave enough room to have people here as we go on.
anybody division effort fooled tough ways win
Our division is a tough division and we've got to find a way to be better in it. I don't think anybody can look at our effort and say we're upset, but I don't think we can be fooled by it either. We've got to find ways to win these divisional games, they're very important in the standings.
business dave decision difficult felt gone hockey number strong three ways
I felt Dave could have gone two or three ways with this decision. Hockey is a difficult business. I think he could have made a strong decision in a number of ways but I'm comfortable where he's gone.
