I'm good buddies with him. He's a great man. I like him a lot. Stuff will come out. I don't know any of the details on it. But I do know that he's a good man. . . . He's a very honest guy. He'll explain his side of it and I'm sure they'll get to the bottom of it.
adding agents excited fans free good great job keeping needed
(Clarke) did a great job of keeping the free agents they needed to and adding the right ones. I think we're going to be a really good team, and I'm just as excited as the fans are to get back on the ice.
great hockey sign
I'd like to think we're better than any one player. I think that's the sign of a great hockey club.
battle great pulled
I never like being pulled out. It was the right decision. I know it's part of the game. You want to be there when things are great and when things are bad, I want to battle it out.
great knew pass push quick
I think I knew he was there; you always know when he's on the ice, he's such a great little player. He (Hecht) made a quick enough pass that I couldn't make the push to get over there.
details good great man stuff
He's a great man. I like him a lot. Obviously, stuff will come out. I don't really know the details of it. But I do know he is a good man.
corrected emotional
I'm an emotional guy, but I think for the most part, I've really corrected that this season. When I'm on the ice, I have to look like the calmest guy. That's how you show leadership.
fire worked
I just wanted to fire them up and it worked for about 10 minutes.
elevated good strive trying
The good thing for me is I have more to offer. As an athlete, you are always trying to get better. You always strive to do that. I have elevated my game.
adjust game games guy learned month needs played style
My style is I'm not a guy who needs a whole lot of games. When I was a backup, I played one game a month or two games a month. You have to be ready. That's kind of how I always approached it. I learned to adjust to that.
focused leaving seven
My first thought? You can't write it. I'm focused on seven games. I'm focused on leaving this one behind.
days hit
I got fortunate; they just hit me. Some days they hit you, and some days they don't.
ahead fired goals happen moving process sure upset yelling
I wasn't yelling at anybody. I was as fired up as everybody. We're all upset when goals go in. It's not a finger-pointing thing but the process of moving ahead and making sure it doesn't happen again.
dictate future good hands huge makers schedule
It's a huge week. The schedule makers got what they wanted, especially in our division. The good thing is they don't have to dictate to us. The future is in our hands and that's the way we want it.
