He did everything he had to do to dominate the game. He was a force out there. I think at times we stood around and were in awe of him.
He had been scoring a lot in practice and we talked to him about it three weeks ago. He delivered.
He has a workmanlike attitude as every member of their hockey club does. You have to credit them with their work ethic.
We got a big goal early and our psyche changed. It seemed like we expected it was going to be easy. They proved differently.
You guys have heard it so many times I'm sure you're sick of it.
When you lose the shootout, you feel like you lost the hockey game. But we didn't lose the hockey game. We lost a point and they gained a point. That's the reality of it.
When you lose a shootout, you feel like you've lost the hockey game. We didn't lose the hockey game. We lost a point and they gained a point.
Training camp's not fun, especially the first day. It's not supposed to be fun. It's about work. We understand that the players are getting a first opportunity to be put through their paces, and our work ethic and our commitment to conditioning will be very, very hard.
We've had to battle back. Points are too important now and we've got to find a way to shake ourselves out of those doldrums early.
We did a lot of good things. I can't be disappointed with our effort, that's for sure.
We are going to have to be first on the puck in a lot of different situations, and this group has not backed away from doing that all year.
We've got a long way to go. There still are a lot of points available.
We had three two-on-ones against us today and it resulted in three goals. You don't play loose and you don't give up those types of quality scoring chances and expect to win and I think we were fortunate to get a point.
We put ourselves in a position to win. We just have to find ways to close those ones out.
