But he had all of those experiences last year. And granted they were at the American Hockey League level, but those were still experiences at that level which was the highest level that there was. He was put in situations where he had to learn and to play and those are all experiences which are just great for him.

I'm excited about having the opportunity for the young kids to go up and play at the NHL level. Which is something that we missed last year that was part of the the minor-league experience. If you work and play well, you get an opportunity to go up.

They give chances all night long. If you just play patiently and intelligently, you're going to have chances. Bury them, and you'll win games. We didn't do that.

You have to be in New Jersey in two hours. You have 10 minutes to pack.

There's a rhyme and a reason for why you have to do certain things against certain teams. We were doing a really good job and we just stopped. You can't have that happen and expect the flow to go the same way.
