He leaves everything on the ice, and he's got some pretty good skills, too. He's not a guy that goes out and runs everything that moves. He can make a pass.
He's a good player. He's learned more what he has to do to score goals. He's going to the net, and that's where he's scoring goals.
He's a big body, and he played for a pretty good team. He's got a big reach.
He's always in position. When you're in position, the puck usually comes to you, hits you. He makes good plays. When you're in good position, good things happen.
I thought our D-zone coverage wasn't very good at all. Our defense wasn't very good at all. You can only go to the well so many times, but we tried hard the past two nights.
We didn't play really good defense. That's why we were down 4-2. But the guys realized that after the first, we had to play better. We had to tighten things up.
We started going for it a little more in the second period. We took the plays to them. They (Albany) took some penalties and our power plays were good again.
We had some pretty good chances. We just didn't bury them. We need to move it, get some shots through and get some traffic in front of the net.
They've both made very good impressions. I'd have no problem putting them in the lineup any time for the rest of the season.
Sometimes a guy is as skilled as Robert, so good as Robert at playing with the puck, that when they don?t have the puck is when they struggle.
The book on Pratt is he's a solid, steady defenseman. He can move the puck. He's got pretty good mobility. He's a veteran defenseman.
I didn't think he had too many second chance, rebounds. Freddy looked really good in net. That's good to see.
He's an elite player in this league. It's good he got a chance to go up. It means that he's ready to go up and do well again.
If he had stayed healthy all year, he'd have really, really good numbers. He might have gone up more than the one game, too.
