Roy's presser
Talks about the players excited to play in Montreal and Quebec City.
Briere Missed last few practices due to son being hurt( I think he said while playing hockey ) will practice today.
This year present a good challenge, following on last year's success, but says it's easy to stay humble in the Western Conference, because of the competition.
He hopes the team stays healthy, talks about the team being relatively healthy, except at the end year.
Happy to have added Stuart
The backbone of the defense are Johnson, Barrie and Holden, they really like those 3
Holden was the biggest surprise last year
They are working with Nate to help him build on last year, they know he will get more attention, but Nate is the kind of kid that wants to get better, they are not worried about him, they will give him the room to grow
Focus on remaining even keel, not too high after wins or to low after losses
Pap, Briere trade, no room for PAP in top 6, wanted him to get minutes somewhere else, Briere fits 3rd line role better, heard nothing but good things about briere leadership and locker room presence
Briere to play on PP with Mack
Iginla, perennial 30 goals scorer, brings toughness, front net presence, leadership will play important role in the playoffs.
Funny he corrected himself when he said Stazz was let go, he then said no he quit
Mack from wing to center, period of adaptation
Goal is to make the playoffs in tough West, but want to go further than last year
I might have missed a few things, but that's the gist of it
