He's very skilled. I expected that to a certain degree, but he's very capable of putting the puck in the net. He's a smart player. I'd be really disappointed if he didn't have 20-plus goals. I'd be very surprised.
More Quotes from Craig MacTavish:
I thought the biggest factor in the game was their third goal. It's emotionally debilitating for your club to go through something like that, and we weren't able to bounce back.Craig MacTavish
It's pretty obvious what we have to do. Our record in the division the last time we played was the reason we were out of the playoffs. We know that. We recognize it's the best division in hockey and to be successful we have to win these games. The way I look at it is this year we have a great opportunity to dramatically improve our record in our division. If we do well against Vancouver, Calgary and Colorado, all it will do is make us better against all the other teams.

I just wanted George to out-play the opposition. I wanted him to get some minutes and I thought he played very well. It was tough to play him too much in the third, because we needed a goal. But he created some good opportunities, so it was good to see him get in there and play some.
Craig MacTavish
He played very well. The Vancouver game, I think, was just a little blip along the way. He was super-solid tonight. They had a number of opportunities early.
Craig MacTavish
It has implications for guys we have on the wing and we're faced with what kind of tangible element we want to add for the 12th, 13th, 14th forward. We'll be choosing between power-play help, toughness and physical help, so there's a lot on the line for two or three players. We see him right now as a very viable option for us in terms of helping us 5 on 4, 4 on 3 and 5 on 3 and those are going to be significant minutes in today's game.
Craig MacTavish
We didn't have our normal jump. We were pretty flat.
