definitely quiet throughout
It's been really quiet. It's been quiet throughout the whole league. I would have thought more would be done by now, but it's definitely been quiet.
air breath fresh lace wait
It's going to be a breath of fresh air for me. I just can't wait to get there, lace them up and get in the lineup with these guys.
kid scary
It would have been 12-0, if not for him. The kid is incredible. He's scary good.
good great job month
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.
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.
people
He's going to do some things that, obviously, some people can't do.
fun players premier
Staal is one of the premier young players in this league. It's fun working with him.
accolades easy great guy sponge trying
He's a sponge right now. He's just trying to take everything in, and that's unbelievable for a young guy that's had all the accolades he's had up to this point. It'd be pretty easy for him to go the other way, but he's not. He's such a great kid.
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.
piece puzzle winning
I want to be a piece of the puzzle on a winning club.
starting
Hopefully, it's a starting point. That's what we have to look for right now. We're getting better.
quality
I don't think they had 10 even-strength, 5-on-5 quality chances.
feeling good guys hopefully learn learning process took win
It's something where we really have to learn from this and learn the feeling of what it took to win this game. We have so many young guys that this is a learning curve. Every game's a learning process and we haven't been very good at learning. Hopefully we can take this and get better here.
five good groove last player six
He's been a real good player for us and he really started to find his groove the last five or six games.
