Quotes about Ty Conklin
I want Jimmy Howard to know he’s part of the organization ... We went and signed Ty Conklin, but we believe in Jimmy Howard.
said Ken Holland
Ty Conklin has the inside track, but if Jimmy Howard is the obvious No. 2 guy (in training camp and the preseason), we'll reassess
said Ken Holland
When he came back, we gave him one game almost every week ... And not only was it about his performance, it was more about I want him to fight for that net, because ... Ty Conklin was playing fantastic for us at that time and helped us to win the division.
said Michel Therrien
in USA Today
Early in the year, we didn't play great defensively and we didn't have a great record ... We went through some controversy, some adversity and we had some injuries. But guys came in and they skated really well. [Goaltender] Ty Conklin was unbelievable and Geno [Malkin] took over. That was a big part of our confidence growing. We have that now, and everyone is healthy, so we're better.
said Jarkko Ruutu
We didn't give him the net right away, and the No. 1 reason was because of how Ty Conklin was playing for us

Quotes from articles mentioning Ty Conklin
Losing the weight has made a huge difference, but the one spot where it’s been most effective is later on in the year when I’m still fresh ... Not carrying that extra weight is easier on the body.
said Jimmy Howard
Every single day I go out there in training camp, I have to continue to prove myself, to show them that I have progressed, that I have been working hard in the summer, and that I want to be in the NHL ... That’s what they want me to do when I come to camp. They want me to show them that I belong.
