came confidence gotta improved means realize
We came into this thing with a lot of confidence, and our confidence should still be high. We've improved defensively every game. By no means are we frustrated. There have been so many upsets, it's anybody's tournament, and we gotta realize that.
came difference
Manny came up with some big saves. The difference was we scored on our 5-on-3 and they did not.
character choice coach fits guy honest keeps matt perfect rocking start talking
I'd like to put in my two cents. I'd like to see Matt Millen coach the team, to be honest with you. Because he keeps talking about they need a disciplinarian guy and a hard-nosed guy that kind of fits the character of the city. I think he's the perfect choice to just get out there and start rocking some heads.
again aside full game happened minutes played series
Aside from the first game of the series we never played a full 60 minutes and it happened again tonight. I don't know why.
against everybody wants
Everybody just wants it to be more open. I have noting against Ted.
against coming count team three
You can't count on coming back against a team like that when you're down three goals.
against found good occasions ourselves talented teams win
Good teams find a way to win and we didn't do that. We found ourselves against 5-on-3 on two occasions and you can't do that against a talented team such as Finland.
against consistent either game great hurt penalties players stop time tonight yesterday
If they keep being consistent like this, you don't want to see all the penalties, it disrupts the flow, so either the players will stop it or it's going to hurt the game. Only time will tell. Yesterday (Wednesday's game against Colorado) was a great game, not too many penalties, tonight there were a lot of penalties that probably should have been that weren't called, but there was some flow.
against bit difference goal robert specialty team teams winning
Against a team like that, you have to get bounces. They had some opportunities in the end. We executed on our five-on-three ( Robert Lang 's winning goal was with a two-man-advantage) and they didn't. Specialty teams were a bit of a difference tonight.
