Fantastic Article! I suggest you all read it. Here are some quotes from Giordano
Quote:
""I think we took a good step last year," he said. "We were in a lot of one-goal games. Our mindset has to be getting points now, cashing in on a lot of those games. I think we learned how to win after Christmas last year. We were better. We cut down on some of the big mistakes we were making before then. Hopefully that will translate into getting more points."."
|
Quote:
"We were feeling like we were in games and not cashing in. After the [December holiday] break we were cashing in on a lot of points there."
|
Quote:
The reputation is out," Giordano said. "If you're not prepared, if you're not in shape coming into this camp, you won't make it through. It's going to be a tough camp. We're going to all be in great shape by the end of it.
|
Quote:
"I think my job is always on the ice to lead by example and to perform. As far as raising the bar, we have to do that as a group. It doesn't come from one or two guys. Everyone has to expect to win. You don't want to get caught in a rut, especially as a franchise where you're not making the playoffs for long, long stretches. We have to cut this off pretty soon."

What a fantastic captain, can't wait to see him lead by example again this year! 21 days left until puck drop!

I've said this before, but we could not have asked for a better captain.

In other news, Toronto captain Dion Phaneuf, chimes in on the Leafs expectations.
Quote:
Well, we got a new Ghetto-Blaster that has bass-boost and a volume knob that goes to 11. So that's a big plus. I've also been working on my turns. This coming season, I am proud to announce, I can turn right, and right.
