battles guys job physically players preparing puck ready seem win
We have to, as players and as coaches, do a better job of preparing guys to play. We were not ready physically or mentally. We didn't seem to win many puck battles tonight.
best guy hardest hockey hole minutes playing spread
He was playing his best hockey of the year. It is a hole and it's a lot of minutes that need to get spread around. Your top-minute guy is the hardest guy to lose.
key saves
He made some key saves at big times. I thought he was outstanding.
assistant chance coach gave guy knowing last sleep tough
I didn't get much sleep last night. It was tough knowing you had a part in getting out of here a guy who gave you a chance to be an assistant coach at this level.
closer maintain needed points seven team
I'd like to maintain the team we have and see what we can do with it. I think we needed to be closer than seven points away to realistically keep this team together.
closer farther maintain needed points seven team
I'd like to maintain the team we have and see if we can do it, but it's really not my call. I really think we probably needed to be closer than seven points to really show that we can take this team farther than where it is right now.
certainly early few found game gave happened hockey looked love middle respect special stood watched
He's a special hockey player. Early in his career, he looked like this. I don't know what happened in a few of his middle years, but certainly this year, he's found the love of the game again. We stood around and watched him make a lot of plays. We gave him too much respect and too much room.
He didn't see that shot. It's not his fault.
business good level
If something comes out of it long-term, that's why we're in the business. We're in the business to see how good we can get as coaches, to see what level we can get at for as long as we can.
best certainly looked
Certainly that's the best Yashin has looked in a long time.
bit point team teams
We feel we can do it. We feel that we've got a lot of firepower on this team and teams can underestimate us at this point . . . We've all got a little bit to prove.
games win
We feel like we probably have to get to the 90s. But we can't win 10 out of 12 games in one night.
compete hard ready seemed surprise
We seemed tentative. It did surprise me. I thought we were ready to go. We didn't compete as hard as we should have.
rewarded
We wanted to come out skating. We did, but didn't get rewarded for it. We generated a lot of chances, but just didn't put them in the net.
