Dave Hakstol Awful Quotations

He made an awful lot of good saves. That's one factor you can't control in a hockey game -- how the guy wearing the pads at the other end is going to play.

I think he stuck with it and has continued to work extremely hard, and now we're starting to see some of the results for Jonathan coming on the ice. He's a guy that does an awful lot for us. ... He's really starting to come on and be a dynamic force for us offensively.

Those are things we'll turn to next week. We've got an awful lot of ability, an awful lot of character in our locker room that will be returning. And the one thing that sticks out in my mind is we have some unfinished business.

Erik is an awful important part to our hockey team. He's going to remain an important part. He just won't be on the ice with us.

It was awful important to score that first power-play goal. That's the start we wanted to have.

Things change an awful lot. From Friday morning to Sunday morning, those standings can take on a whole different look. There's nothing expected or guaranteed. You have to go out and work for what you get.
