He needs two eyes in the back. Besides that, he'll be OK.

It's not only missing calls. They didn't miss that slash. He didn't read it well. It was a slash. But it's the wrong guy.

Every shot he sends at the net, they're hard to catch because he shoots so hard. He maybe thinks a little more offensively than most guys. It's good to have a defenseman like that.

His game's good. There's improvement that he could get.

You have to put him on the wall in certain situations push him all the time to be better because he's got great talent and great knowledge of the game. Any project, when a guy wants to do well and needs help, I like that challenge. But I need his support, his willingness to succeed. If he has that, I think he can achieve his goals.

First thing when you think about Jimmy Dowd, he's a guy you can rely on. He's a great team player, loves the game, loves to play. He's a fan and a player.

It's in and out, but it will be good. Maybe it will make us appreciate home.

They win a lot of games with their power play. They score at the right time. They have shooters on the point, and they have scorers who have an instinct for the puck.

(Goaltending) could have been better. It was stoppable shots there. He made some good saves a different times, though.
