ended four guys puck room
There's no way Jagr should get that kind of room in the slot. We actually had four guys back. It was a three-on-four, but we just didn't communicate and the puck ended up in our net.
finish goes guys line marathon playoffs talent teams time wait year
This is the time of year you wait for, and we're right there. Guys who have never been in the playoffs before will feel that pressure. We're approaching the finish line of an 82-game season. It now goes from a marathon to a sprint, and when you're bunched up with other teams like we are, it's not talent that will get you there, but commitment.
focus overcome praying
Our focus is on our two guys. We're praying about their health, to overcome this tragedy.
focus settling time winning
Our focus is on winning that game. We have no time for that. It's all about winning our games, not about settling any scores.

I don't think it will be much longer than that. But they're really being cautious. As soon as a guy gets a concussion, he sits out for seven days.

cares club consistent deserves excellent great individual offensive player speed strong success winning
He has been our most consistent two-way player all year, and I can use him in any situation. He's an excellent offensive player with great speed and he is unbelievably strong on the puck. He cares about the team's success and winning more than individual stats. He's an important part of our club and he deserves the recognition he is getting.
dressing hockey morning respect room seen tonight tremendous
This morning in the dressing room they were as down as I've seen a hockey club. Tonight they showed a lot of character. I have tremendous respect for this team.
generate matter penalties percentage playing plays power year
It's a matter of playing our game. Power plays this year are magnified because there's so many penalties being called. In all the games, you're going to get some power plays if you skate. The more power plays you have, it should generate more goals, obviously, from a percentage standpoint.
