None of us would have any idea about something like this, no, absolutely not.

It would have been 12-0, if not for him. The kid is incredible. He's scary good.

It was very exciting for us. I get one more crack at it. That's what we play for. I just wanted a chance to get back there and raise it one more time.

Ray is a very smart player. Obviously he's got great talent, and we're hoping he's able to come back and make a difference.
crazy exciting fortunate hockey season tickets win
(Crosby's arrival) will really revitalize hockey in Pittsburgh, back to when I was fortunate enough to win back in '91. It's pretty awesome. We've got our season tickets going crazy ... it's been pretty exciting around here.

Dumb. I honestly don't know if I could reach him, if I even wanted to punch him.

They played better than us. Toronto was much better than us. ... We weren't as desperate as them.
dressing gave guys help next takes team whatever worth
You don't want to let these guys down in the dressing room. You want to show them you're worth whatever they gave up and help this team do whatever it takes to get to that next level.
compete eventually guys hard honest played positive starting stay team turn ways
We played hard (Saturday). Eventually, we're going to find ways to win. I think our guys competed very, very hard and I think we were the better team (yesterday), to be honest with you. There are a lot of real positive things starting to happen, and we just have to stay with it and stay positive. If we compete like this, we'll eventually turn this thing around.
energy excitement
We have to play better. We're at home. We should have a lot more energy. There was no enthusiasm, there was no excitement to play.
chance forward looking routine
I'm just looking forward to getting into a little routine here in Carolina. I really haven't had a chance to do that.

I really like what we're doing. We're just not putting the puck in the net right now.

He's everything we expected. It's great that he could come in and do a good job like this in his first month under all this pressure.

Hopefully, it's a starting point. That's what we have to look for right now. We're getting better.
