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.

I thought they were everything that we expected and think they'll only get better and help our club.

Our focus is playing better and better together. It's a matter of getting our energies directed and focused in one area.
healthy winning
Winning a lot at the end is important, but not everything because you need to be healthy going into the playoffs.

We can't get discouraged. We have to find a way to get 3 or 4 per cent better.

When we've played poorly, we've played really poorly.

We're not performing at our top level, and we have to eliminate as much negative thought as possible.
balance centre cooke expect lines matt park playing richard
We like the balance that our lines get. I think we can expect more from Matt Cooke and Richard Park playing with a centre as accomplished as Mo.
awful chance gave great happen hop horrendous instead start talked trying
We concentrated an awful lot on our start tonight. We talked about what we wanted to do and still got off to a horrendous start. We're trying to make something happen and instead we gave a great chance right off the hop to one of the better shooters in the league.
came defense game spirited
We had to play a spirited game and the defense came up large.

We didn't do good things throughout the entire game. I don't think we had enough guys who worked hard enough and we end up with that type of result when that happens.
entire good throughout
We didn't do good things throughout the entire game.
adhere entire good took
We did some good things, but we also took too many penalties. We didn't adhere to the things we need to do for an entire 60 minutes.
alex bit last load schedule second tough until
We'll see how things go. We haven't had a tough schedule the last little while. Now we play every second day until Christmas. That would be a little bit of a load if Alex had to play all of that.
