five halfway hard maybe miss school settled year
They've been in the same school for five years now. I need to get settled first and then maybe they'll come halfway through the year at the (Christmas) break. But, I don't know. It's hard. I will miss them and want them here, but I know how hard it will be on them to move.
bit consider game happy huge lucky playing point settle time
You never want to settle and be happy with losing. But there are times when you come out of a game and consider yourself a little bit lucky you got anything. Being down 2-1 and the way he was playing with as little time as we had, that is a huge point for us.
boards buildings dull fans feeling funny good liked loud playing puck seems
Fans are loud in here. It's a good feeling in here. Some buildings it seems dull or whatever. The boards are funny in some other buildings, you never know how the puck is going to bounce. Here, though, they're pretty true. ... I've always liked playing in Tampa. Very comfortable playing here.
compete competition everybody far fun harder role stuff wants
Everybody wants to play. It's fun when you are playing, and when you're not, you have to find a role and find some way to contribute. As far as competition goes, you compete every day with yourself probably harder than anybody, so the other stuff is just part of it.
bottom break couple line played points
I think we could of played better. You could always find a couple things to break it down but the bottom line is we didn't find a way to win. It's unfortunate because we need these points right now.
enjoyed happy opportunity places somewhere stage thankful
The way I look at it, I'm thankful for all the opportunities I've had to play in all the places I've played. I've enjoyed every place. And at this stage of the game, I'm happy to still have the opportunity to play somewhere else.
couple days felt game good last nervous
It felt good to play, but it felt better to play and get a win. I was more nervous the last couple of days than I usually am, and I thought about the game more than I usually do. But once I got out on the ice, I felt good.
crunch desperate fighting
There's nothing you can do when you panic, you just try to keep working harder. We know we are in a desperate situation, and we know now that it's crunch time. We can say that we are fighting it and getting our chances. We just have to find a way to get it done out on the ice.
anytime bottom finding hockey line losing lost maybe stop
The bottom line is we lost another hockey game. We've got to find a way to stop that slide. I think it's frustrating anytime you lose. Right now maybe it's not even as important how we're losing or how we win. It's finding a way to win.
case enthusiasm fun games hanging key overall played saves sit sound team three total watch
It's been a total team effort, ... In the three games I've had to make some saves at key times, but overall we've played very solid. It's actually fun to sit back there and watch our team. We've played with a lot of enthusiasm and speed, and we've played pretty sound all over the ice. It hasn't been a case of us hanging on, we've played pretty strong.

coach good sure wants
I don't know how good a coach he'll be. But I'm sure if he wants to be a good one, he will. He'll be as competitive as he always was as a player.
coach guy playing
I can't say that I would do anything differently as a coach, ... You have to go, if you have a guy playing well, you have to play him, that's the way it is.
