ahead credit deserves good happened lots man means obviously process
I think it means a lot for Dany and it means a lot obviously for us because we all know what happened and the process that Dany had to go through. I think that this young man deserves lots of credit for not only doing it in a very good way, but also getting ahead of schedule.
chances couple decisions face felt game good key moments positive power saw situations step tough
I think it's a very positive first step. He had some real good chances on the power play. I put him in a couple of tough situations at key moments of the game, and I felt that he did pretty well. But let's face it, this is step one. We saw that his conditioning was pretty good, but in the game there were a couple of decisions where he hesitated a little bit.
bottom came games good haunt line plenty thomas tough
The bottom line is that Thomas came up with some good saves. It's a tough loss, but there's still plenty of games left. At the same time, games like this can come back to haunt you in the end.
effort good great hockey playing push skating
Right now we are playing good hockey and making a push for the playoffs. I thought the effort was great and we are skating very well.
collect confidence dues felt good kid looked paid time worker
He looked like an NHL goalie. He felt very comfortable. Right now his confidence should be at the top. He's a good worker and a good kid and he's paid his dues in the organization, so the time has come for him to collect the reward.
bit both doctors good guys hopefully loose moving players puck seemed time towards
He seemed to me moving a little bit towards the end so hopefully that is a good sign. He was going for a loose puck and both guys collided. They didn't have much time to react. You never like to see any players go down. The doctors were in there very quickly.
built confident good penalty point saves team turning
The turning point was the 5-on-3 that we killed early. If they scored on that they're a confident team and they would have built on that goal. Our penalty killing has been very good and we got some saves from Dunham on that 5- on-3.
asking blood feeling good help ice players teammates
You never like to see any of your players or teammates go down. There was blood on the ice and everything and when you see players and the referees asking for help it's not a pretty good feeling because you're helpless.
chances couple good towards
It was a good game. Their power-play made the difference. Towards the end we got a couple of good chances but we couldn't get the equalizer.
dominated good news though three
Even though they've pretty much dominated us in the first three games, the good news is we're still right there with them.
either generate goal good last matter miss net scoring seems three
The last three games, it seems like we can't generate a good scoring chance. And when we have it, we either miss the net or the goalie comes up with a big save. Our big goal scorers are pressing. They're tight. We know what we have and it is just a matter of getting this thing to click.
dominant factor front great moved puck
He was the dominant factor in this game, no doubt. The one thing we could have done was get in front of him better. But we moved the puck well, made some great decisions. But we couldn't finish.
obviously
There's going to be a lot of 5-on-4s and 5-on-3s because obviously the referees want to make a statement. It makes for some interesting hockey.
barely happy stand
I'm so happy I can barely stand myself.
