We're behind the 8-ball right now. We need some help from other teams, and we need to just win our games....There's still 19 games left. We have to go 13-6 at least, that's my thinking. And we need some other teams to maybe be .500 and lose same games. You never know.
It's tough. We're losing a great teammate and a guy that really helped us out a lot in Sammy....He was one of our big offensive threats and we're having trouble scoring goals, so it's probably going to hurt the team.
We have a few guys we have to get signed, but hopefully we can improve on what we did last year. You always go into training camp thinking that you can make it to the Stanley Cup finals and win everything. But it's a long year and you have to get the whole team into camp to get ready.
He was a big offensive threat for us, and to lose him when you're having trouble scoring goals, it's going to hurt the team. To top it off, losing to a team that we're chasing, it's not good.
