cares helped language talks time
Jaromir really cares about this kid. He's helped him with his language; he talks to him all the time in English.
bringing three
They've been terrific. Bringing the three of them up is not out of the question.
assess both careful chances hard less playing putting scoring sure system within
As long as we're working hard and playing within our system we should be able to get scoring chances with him out there at less than 100 percent. But we're going to be really very, very careful here and make sure that we give him a chance to assess where he is, both psychologically and physically, before we even contemplate putting him back in.
delivered explained needed opportunity player rules second within
As it was explained to me, he didn't think a second player delivered another hit. It was an explanation I have to live with. We needed an opportunity to play 5-on-3, and I thought within the rules we should have had it.
finished maybe smart
He's a smart enough kid. Obviously, he finished up when maybe he shouldn't have.
guys kevin opportunity wake
Kevin was fine. I thought (the switch) was more an opportunity to wake up 18 guys and make a statement.
informed leaving sure
I'm leaving that open. I want to make sure I make an informed decision.
afterwards aware certainly felt jim left talking time
He said he felt a little tight. By the time I left the ice, I wasn't aware there was much of a problem. But certainly talking to (trainer) Jim Ramsey afterwards he felt very uncomfortable.
giving serves
I thought we would probably do Henrik well by giving him a breather before he went over to Europe, so it serves two purposes.
feels guy leads team wants
He wants to play and he feels responsible for this team and where it's going. He wants to be the guy that leads them.
goals good stop
I thought they scored some pretty good goals . If you can't see it, you can't stop it.
ask dead kevin
Kevin was dead on the mark. He did everything we could ask of a goaltender.
humiliated
We humiliated ourselves. We embarrassed ourselves. I don't think I have to say much more.
assess both careful chance putting sure
We're going to be really very, very careful here and make sure that we give him a chance to assess where he is, both psychologically and physically, before we even contemplate putting him back in.
