This is the third camp we've prepared for since last September, ... We got ready at the start of the (2004-05) year, and thought we might be coming back last February, so we prepared for a shortened season. I think we're all excited to know we'll all definitely be on the ice this time.
More Quotes from Joel Quenneville:
I thought it was a special goal knowing how important it was at that stage of the game. The game was going to go down to the wire and they were playing really well there. It is a great reflection on a tremendous career. He gets into situations like that because of how he plays, and we have been happy with everything he has done.Joel Quenneville
It's not etched in stone that that's how we're going to start. We wanted him to experience it here and see how he handled it. That's an option. He's a talented kid, so the upside is huge. Skill-wise, offensively, he can do a lot of things with his shot. The quick hands jumped out at me. It's going to be a huge boost. One more dangerous weapon offensively who can help our power play.

We have a great group of guys and they're aware that these things happen in the game. Our goal is to get in the playoffs and win championships that's our focus. The anxiety of the (trading) deadline is always tough on guys, but I don't think it will be a distraction.

I think with Al there was always this thought that he was just a slapshot. (But) he controlled the defensive zone, he was able to control the pace of the game, and he had the ability to make great passes. There were a number of things Al did besides generating a threat on the power play. And he did it at an age when you see players at that position get slower. It seemed like he was almost getting better as he got older.

We've really enhanced our position in the last week. It's better than hanging onto that eighth or ninth position. Now, we're looking at taking the division. It's a realistic objective.

That's tough to measure. I know you have (Olympians) staying sharp (during the break), and then not getting the rest. There's probably a fine line in saying who's got the advantage. Let's play and find out.
