A lot of people I know in the business world have told me they used to go to hockey or basketball or football games when they were in college. |
Any time you create more scoring chances, it's better for the game. |
Every team goes through things like this. We know we can turn it around. |
For instance, in previous years, you could bear-hug players up in front of the net looking for rebounds [without getting penalized]. You can't do that now so we have to be athletic to make second and third saves. |
For the first two periods, we played a great road game. A couple of unfortunate bounces wound up in (our net). It's a tough position to be in. |
His best play wasn't a save at all. |
I don't know if it's a day or 30 days. Whatever it is, I'll be ready and help this team win. |
I think we've played as well as we've played all year tonight. We definitely wanted the two points in regulation, but at least we wound up with them anyway. |
More than anything, our team defense hasn't played up to potential. |
That has to unprecedented in all of professional sports. Maybe I'll try to sprain three of them the next time. |
The difference was obviously the first period. We knew they'd come out hard regardless of who they had in the lineup, and they did. |
The first period we played as well as we (had) all year. They took over in the second, but we got it back. |
The frustrating part is I had gotten a chance to play when Ricky was sidelined and I was playing well. |
The guys made it easy for me. I kept seeing the second shot. I think it's indicative of how hard this team worked that (Providence) kept having to hook and take penalties. |
These guys are great. All you can ask any rookie to do is play hard, and these guys are doing so. |
