from the East Valley Tribune,
"For our success as a group, we need our top players to be better each and every night," said Gretzky, who confirmed he was referring to Shane Doan, Petr Nedved, Ladislav Nag y, Derek Morris and Mike Johnson. "That will come. Part of the problem was Petr was hurt for a while. Morris was hurt, and they battled that for parts of the first 10 games. We need to get more production out of that part of the core of our team to have the success that we need to have."

This week's offensive player of the week answers a few questions in a conference call interview. from NHL.com,
Q. Andy Murray has the reputation of a details-oriented coach. Is that a good type of coach to have in the new NHL, where so much emphasis is on special teams and power play and I assume quite a bit of instruction? CRAIG CONROY: I think so, because it pretty much maps everything out for you. Everything is just, you know, black and white and he takes whatever the players think, too. He's always asking questions, what we do to get better and things like that. For the most part he tries to just keep it very simple.

from Kevin Allen of USA TODAY,
While much of the rookie attention is being placed on some of the outstanding 18-, 19- and 20-year olds, the rookie who might be having the biggest impact on his team is Buffalo Sabres' 25-year-old goalie Ryan Miller. Four years after winning the Hobey Baker Trophy as college hockey's best player, Miller has been a major factor in the Sabres' best start in almost 30 years.
