Adrian Aucoin Work Quotations

It's tough when you work hard and the results aren't there. You start to second-guess yourself.

The first one he (Heyer) said he lost sight of the puck, so he blew it. Our guys work hard and finally get some offense going and something like that happens. It's really frustrating.

I had no problems with the old rules, but I think taking the red line away will hopefully add to scoring and make the game faster, ... As a defenseman, I look at scoring negatively, but it works both ways. I wonder about the expectations though. I played in Sweden, without a red line, and I don't think the game was faster. On the other hand, I wasn't playing with the best players in the world, as in the NHL. We'll adjust to the new icing rules and in a few years we won't remember what it was like before. There's always calls for new rules, but I just hope the game doesn't change too drastically.
