I don't know how great (my performance) was. I felt like I was in the zone but you never feel good when you give up one more goal than the other team. We just got to put it behind us.
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.
(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.
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.
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.
You feel the pressure of the city, the pressure of your teammates and the pressure of the organization to play to the best. Pressure is not a bad word. It's a great word. It gives you tunnel vision and lets you focus on the task at hand.
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.
I'd like to think we're better than any one player. I think that's the sign of a great hockey club.
Pressure isn't a bad word. It's a great word. It gives you tunnel vision and let's you focus on the task at hand.
