That's a big role. We don't do a lot of [line matching], but when we want to and we are a little bit more concerned about an offensive line, we'll pit them up against the other team's top players. |
That's a calm influence from the goaltender on out, and that does feed out through the team. |
That's a part of the game now. I hate it, but it's part of the game and our guys are going to have to produce. |
That's a tough one, I thought that we played well right on through. I thought that we played a good second half of the third period. We'll rebound and they should feel good about the way that they played, as it was our seventh game in eleven nights against a quality team and we just have to stay positive. |
That's an important goal because I thought we stunk in the first period. I think we watched them, we lost a lot of battles, we really turned the puck over. ... That's a good goal to get going into the second period. |
That's just a bunch of wood burning. There's no one hurt. There's nothing serious that happened. His insurance will take care of it. Whatever the insurance doesn't take care of, I am sure he has enough money to spend and take care of it himself. |
That's more out of respect to David. |
That's not saying he doesn't have the ability, but he gets everything out of himself every night. And when he's not going, it's not working for him, you know the effort is going to be there. |
That's out of respect for David. A captain is only a letter. That's a bit overrated at times, too. |
That's the deal we made. A verbal deal. If you shoot the puck, you'll stay there. If you don't, we'll put you back down on the wall somewhere. |
That's the game right there. |
That's the game, killing that off. |
The key to the game was, I thought our power play was very good early, and Theodore was better. He made some great saves. Later on, I thought our power play struggled and you know it's going to come back and bite you, sooner or later. |
The last few games we played them, a turn here or a turn there would have changed the result. |
The thing about it that you have to hang your hat on as a coaching staff [is] I know they are working hard to get out of it. It's not like they're lazy. They are still creating chances but they are just not finishing. They will. They are too good of players for this to keep hanging around. If we can keep other parts of our game together while that starts coming, then maybe you start to get some consistency. |
