good impression nice teammates win
It's nice to get that out of the way. You want to make a good impression on your teammates and play well. And this was an important win for us.
great hockey looking piece
I'm not going in there to be the savior. I want to be a piece of a great hockey club. If I can be a little piece that can get it over the top, that's what I'm looking for.
build couple exciting fans hope past per philly pittsburgh tremendous
Pittsburgh has been down for the past couple years, but we'd like to get back in it. Philly has been tremendous and we want to get to that level. It's exciting for the fans when you see each other more times per year. We hope to build more rivalries.
chance wonderful
We know it's a wonderful chance for us.
game great older players respect sick talking
I don't get sick talking about him because he is such a great kid. The respect he has for older players and the game is impressive.
best player
Sid was the best player on the ice.
coming heard last might next trip
I haven't heard anything (about when he might return). I really don't know. He's been at games, and last week, he practiced. I know he's been working out. I think he's coming on our next trip with us.
both difference loss seems special urgency york
That seems to be the way it's going for us. Five-on-five, we're fine. Special units we aren't. It was the difference (Wednesday in a 3-1 loss to the New York Rangers) and it was the difference (Thursday). We have to play with a lot more urgency on both units.
approach drive ethic game learning mental next obviously process stronger type unless work worry
He's young. We all were like that. You're not the type of goalie he is unless you are that competitive and have that drive to be the best. It's a learning process to where you get over that and you worry about it after the game but the next day it's a new day. It's not always easy. But with his work ethic and the way he does things I don't worry. Obviously his mental approach is something he's going to get stronger and stronger at.
He's been doing that forever. He's their superstar.
