He's in a battle. But in Tim's case he's really matured. He put the extra time in to get himself bigger, stronger. It really is about his career, and I think he's trying real hard to resurrect it.
We want to keep them both ready, but it's a tough situation going into the playoffs trying to play both.
Dmitri still expresses a little discomfort, and I'm trying to be careful with that one because when we want him back, we want him back full bore. We don't want him cautious or tentative.
That was disappointing, but we made some poor decisions. They brought their triangle in real low and we still kept trying to squeeze plays. When you see a team collapse as much as they did, it would have been better for our guys to shoot.
I was trying to get him the last one, and why not? He's a rookie who's played very well for us. He'd only played about four minutes going into the third period, so it was great to see him get it.
I was trying to get him the last goal. Why not? He's a rookie that's played very well for us, an important piece.
I thought coming out in the third period we really set the tone. We made a statement that we were trying to go after it. We went after it hard. We got some key saves, some key defensive plays that allowed our power play to win the game.
At certain times, he's trying to do too much with the puck. He finished the season as our leading scorer. He wants dearly to be the guy that's being counted on. Through that, he's tried to make plays that turned into individual plays. It's nothing more than that.
