(The penalty kill) been huge for us. The guys have been coming up so big, especially on the 5-on-3 (opportunities). |
I didn't see it, so I can't complain about that. Our guys didn't argue too much. |
I don't know any different, so I can't say if it's any easier or any harder. ... I was very nervous when I came down. I had never been a head coach. They had lost only one game (in regulation), and they took half the team on me, especially the scoring. I'm thinking to myself 'How am I going to match this (start)?' I'm enjoying it. Winning is helping. |
I thought he played well (Friday) night and deserved another chance. |
I thought he played well. |
It probably has a lot to do with whether they want me back. I haven't thought that far down the road. I'm just taking it game by game down here. That's how I try to approach it. I do enjoy it, though. I can say that. |
It puts us right back into the series. A loss definitely would have been devastating. |
It's a big hole for us. We have to find a way to dig ourselves out and play hard. We just gotta keep playing hard. |
It's something we've looked forward to. I'm happy it's over with. We got the two points and we can move on from there. |
It's tough to kill the five-on-threes and four-on-threes. (Andy) Delmore has that big booming shot and hits the net quite a bit. Our PK has won us games throughout the year and they'll lose you a game here and there. |
Our penalty killing wasn't great. We allowed them to get their shots on net and they got the rebounds. Our PK has been good all year, but tonight it slipped a little bit. It's been slipping a little bit lately. |
The guys did an excellent job. They did an excellent job all night long. I was really proud. |
The last few times we played them, the power play worked for us. The power play wasn't that bad tonight, I thought. We moved it well. We had opportunities. Their goalie played extremely well. We definitely had a lot of chances tonight. Good chances. Quality chances. |
The third period, we got plenty of shots and plenty of action around the net. Unfortunately, he played well again. We have to get more traffic in front of him, I think. |
They're a team that is looking to win some games. They've got to be hungry (in their situation). |
