Throughout the top four lines, I think we're very deep now.
We expect (Dallas) to come out and play hard Friday.
You go there to have a good dinner, maybe catch a show. It's a good little team thing. When I first went, I was excited, and I'm sure some of these guys are looking forward to going.
Before, it was pretty set in stone. Adam and whoever he would play with basically took the top line, ... Now, we share those minutes. That's the way I think we have to do it. I don't think one (defensive) set can handle it.
The operation went very well, ... The recovery period all depends on how Jason heals. We are hopeful he will show improvement over the course of the summer. We will monitor his situation as he rehabilitates the knees over the next few months.
Obviously, I didn't think it would take that many shooters, ... They played well in the third period and came back we were happy to hold on and get it to overtime and get the win.
Are your articles always this bias (sic) and weak, ... or are you just not very knowledgeable when it comes to sports?
They've always had a history of being in the right places, and they cause turnovers. Their 'D' are very good at moving the puck quick and they have a lot of speed up front.
They played hard but we gave them a lot of help, and our power play wasn't as effective as it should have been.
You've just got to get in and play, ... I came back (in 1996) and it took a bit of time to get things going.
You never want to see an injury like that happen.
You never want to give a team life. We know how good they can be.
You never want to give a team life - especially a team as good as Dallas. They've got some momentum now, but we've got a chance in the next game to take it away again.
Definitely. We're going to be fighting down the stretch and we have that western swing with . . . the teams we are battling with. You want be in a position for those three games coming up to be real big.
