"We say the right things right now, but those have to turn into action. It comes to whether you are part of the solution here long term. We have to keep working at it. There are some young players who need to get better in certain areas. Some of our older guys need to play better. It is a long season. We're going every other day right now."
"I have known Reavo for a long time. He has had a great career in terms of what he does and his role as a player. Things happen. This is the way the game goes when you get a little older and are getting toward the end of your career. I went through it. I understand totally where he is at and what he thinks. It is all good. I love Reavo."
The Maple Leafs enter the matchup following four wins in five games and aim to sustain momentum against a struggling San Jose Sharks team. The Sharks have suffered three losses in four and face inconsistencies that require turning words into on-ice action, with young players needing development and veterans needing better play. The schedule is taxing, forcing players to find ways to contribute nightly. Matthew Knies reports his line is creating chances and expects goals soon. Craig Berube defends Ryan Reaves' career and stresses that William Nylander must get more involved on his new line.
