QUOTE(S) TO NOTE:

"If you're coming into the league on a team where there's a losing culture or an acceptance of losing, it can snowball on you very quickly and chances are that you never develop into the player you could become. That's not what we're accustomed to here. More than that, we are not going to allow that here. If we play under the guidelines the coaches are giving us and we play hard, we're going to have a chance to win hockey games."
