“Here comes another one of the stud teams, so we'd better be prepared. We have had a tough schedule, but you can't worry about that. We just have to concentrate on getting better.”
“Steve got caught up in the numbers game, and that happens in this league. I hear he is a physical presence who finishes off his checks, and that's what we need.”
“Mike's a good skater with quick hands, and he's one of those guys who has the natural ability to be in position to score. One of his main strengths is following his own shot. He's great at being in position to get the rebound and put it in the net.”
“We've skated a man short in our lineup lately, and Jeff helps us fill that void. He brings an added dimension of grit that will complement our team in the area of toughness.”
“If we don't activate him now or put him on the list, we have to waive John, and we don't want to lose the rights to him. It's just paperwork. When he shows up, we'll take him off the list and sign him.”
“In the next five weeks, we have a lot of games at home and many of them are against teams in our division. If we want to jump into this race and get that last spot, we have to cash in at home and win hockey games.”
