That’s what Mike has been preaching to us all year. Get the puck to the net, get guys to the net. During the regular season he was preaching that’s how you score playoff goals.

I’ve never been part of it. I’m really looking forward to it. After Vancouver and Calgary and what we’ve heard about the way it is in Edmonton for the playoffs … it’s pretty special for...

To be able to go out there and let guys skate and make plays, … that’s how the game should be played.

We’ve lost two in a row, and we have to respond. To beat the elite teams in the league, it’s got to be start to finish. We haven’t done that the last couple of games...

I thought we were going to wait until the buzzer sounds after tomorrow’s (Sunday) game, but the Americans have gotten a jump on us. The wheels will be turning for the next 24 hours.

Right off the bat, Mike is stressing the kind of system he wants to play. He wants to play a high-tempo game and he wants a lot of energy and intensity.

One thing we wanted to do was take away Blake, with that big one-timer he has. We wanted to get into some shooting lanes, and we did that. We talked about how important specialty teams...

It’s something I definitely want to build on.

We feel good about what we’ve accomplished so far, but there’s still a lot of the season left.

He’s a guy that can dominate a game. He just makes players around him that much better. He’s a guy that can score, and he’s a very gifted passer as well. The best thing to...

I don’t think we’re there yet. I think this is really the first time at training camp that it’s meant as much as it has in a lot of years for this team. Not only...

He’s such a great guy and he wants to be there for everybody and that’s what made him so popular in Detroit.

You put Pavel in there, it puts us almost to the upper echelon to compete with the high-end teams.

It was an ugly type of goal and Brad had a cheeky grin on his face, but it was what we needed.

A lot of players have changed. I know (Colorado) doesn’t have a lot of players left from the ’90s teams. A lot of what happened was a long time ago. I guess it’s a little...

It’s going to really open up the game, make the game a lot more entertaining. Training camp this year is going to be more important than previous camps and the exhibition games are going to...
