I thought things went pretty well. I think I can play here and help the team. I just want to continue to improve.
We're just playing pretty solid hockey right now and not making too many big mistakes. Five on five, we're making it really tough for teams to play us. We're skating, and we're not giving them a lot of opportunities in our end, for the most part. We have to continue to play like that.
We're playing solid hockey and not making too many very big mistakes. We're not giving up a lot of opportunities, and we have to continue to play like that.
We played a strong game. We're all competing and battling for each other. We're just not getting too many breaks, but for us, we just have to continue to do this. We have to stay with it. Every guy is battling in here and that's huge. Everyone is going the same way and eventually it's going to turn around.
I think we just realized that was bad luck. I think we knew we were carrying the play in the first, so we weren't too worried.
I think to be great, you have to prove that you're the best year after year after year and show that by winning. I think that's something you have to earn. You have to prove that. I don't really think about it. I think that's something that's too far ahead for me.
Just being around him is going to help me ? the little questions about things in town, where things are, just seeing about how he goes about things every day, ... On the ice, it's good for me to see some of these older guys who've been in the league for a lot of years and see how they practice, just get into good habits. Being around those guys, it's going to rub off.
We're close. We have to make sure we keep plugging. It's just a matter of getting that one more goal.
We're a family. When you lose a guy like that it's like losing people in your family. He was always there. He was the first one to take the blame and held himself responsible. As a player, it's not something you like to see. The coach doesn't put on his skates and go out and play. There's only so much he can do. I have a lot of respect for him.
We had a lot of new faces, but guys had the right attitude.
I think just being around him is going to help me,
I thought of passing it for a second.
I'm still trying to develop consistency, ... You have to think faster up here. The reaction time is fast. You have to think quick, or else you're not going to make a lot happen.
Jack Johnson is my roommate and he's been going to a few meetings, ... It's definitely a nerve-racking time and I feel for him a little bit.
