The twins' unit is probably the best unit in the league, but throughout the course of a season they are going to go through lulls ... They're not going to just dominate for 82 games. We'll go back to basics. You're not going to keep them off the scoresheet for too long on the power play.
We had two good goalies last year and it helped us in a lot of games ... I don’t know why it’s being spun into a bad thing.
Who's calling it that? ... Well, again, who cares. That's not being said in this room.
It's helped us get back in the groove
I think it was more shots than chances but you know me, I tend to get amnesia after these games
Tell him to go play a round of golf or take a nap. Why is he chirping us?
No, you're not going to get me
We're playing good some games and not giving our best effort others ... We're not going to sit in our stalls and whine, we're going to keep plugging away.
You guys took it and just ran with it ... San Jose got a hold of it and it was just a snowball through the playoffs. All of a sudden, we're the most hated team in Canada and all that stuff. Maybe it makes for great stories, but it's getting old.
You can call us a lot of things, I don't think arrogant would be one of them ... This is not even close to the most arrogant team I've even played on. The twins are so humble and you may not like playing against guys like (Maxim) Lapierre, and (Alex) Burrows but they're not arrogant. I just don't get it...
