I'm not ready to wave the white flag on . We will have better nights than tonight. |
I'm not really willing to put him in (tonight), to be honest with you. I'd like to see him (tomorrow) and see how he's making out. |
I'm not so sure we pushed the envelope, quite honestly. When you don't make it tough for the opponent, it's not real tough to defend. We didn't have a lot of net drive. We didn't have a lot of rebound opportunities. |
I'm not sure of the extent as of yet, but we'll know a little more probably by [late Saturday night]. |
I'm not sure that we competed hard enough for the first 40 minutes, and the third period was just basically a penalty-kill period. There's not a lot to like about the game, quite honestly. But we'll go to school and correct ourselves. |
I'm not sure they wait for him to do magical things but they are sort of watching history here, too. |
I'm not sure we competed as hard as we needed to for the first 40 minutes. Then the third period was all a penalty kill. There's not a lot to like about the game, honestly. |
I'm not sure we got caught tired. I think we just got caught flat-footed. |
I'm sort of playing a hunch as much as anything. That's the paradox of coaching. You have to coach for the moment to get wins, but you have to invest when you can in the future. |
I'm sort of playing a hunch, and there's a history as well. I like to make informed decisions and do my research. |
I'm thinking I'd better not make an emotional comment. I'll just sit down and think it through and do what's appropriate. |
If he can elevate to the point where we have no choice, then it's possible. If he comes in and does an admirable job, then probably not. |
If he's going to dress, then I have high expectations. He can shoot. He may not be able to do the one-timer thing or the slap shot but that's never really been a part of his repertoire anyway. |
If I hadn't scouted this kid along with our other scouts when he was in juniors, I'd probably be a little more skeptical. But he's such a competitor. |
