We want more efficient minutes out of Adrian. It's not the time he plays [that's important]. |
We want them to experience what it's like to be in that situation. This has been a hard year for everyone -- not just the kids, but everybody off the ice who are trying so hard to make this thing work. |
We'd probably showed [Dallas] too much respect. This time we played our game and didn't worry so much about what they were doing. We stayed poised. It shows we're starting to grow as a group and mature. |
We'll keep him up as long as we can. He has definitely earned that right. |
We're going to keep him around. |
We're moving on, moving forward. |
We're not looking for help from anybody. We've got to help ourselves. It's not the woe is me here. We dug the hole, we have to dig out. That comes from everybody. |
We're not looking for help from anybody. We've got to help ourselves. They're big boys. It's not woe is me. We've got to dig ourselves out of this. |
We've got to become a more difficult team to play against. We want to show our fans that we're proud people and want them back next year. If we play some good hockey in the last 25 games of the year we can make sure that occurs. |
We've played well enough in a lot of the games that we've lost. This maybe wasn't our best, but it was a win. |
We've still got some work to do. It's a work in progress. |
What I'm seeing in him is a more relaxed player. He had been putting too much pressure on himself. |
When a team makes a trade, it's obviously not happy. Our first two periods were disappointing. We weren't committed to playing together or committed to our game plan. |
When they play a collective team game, it's better than the coach telling them about it. We've always talked about it. Tonight, we had more guys on than off. |
When we lost Anderson and Leighton, Adam played a lot of good games for us. He got us into the [American Hockey League] playoffs. |
