concerned decide definitely
We're definitely scrambling a bit. We have to decide what we're going to do when Maris leaves, and we're concerned about Dean's situation.
against beat best bring definitely good helps opportunity proof success thinking whenever
Whenever you have success against a team, it helps you a little bit, because there's proof you can get it done against them. You definitely go in thinking you have an opportunity to beat them but only if you bring your best game. This is a very good team.
both call definitely played san seen win
This was definitely a goalie's duel, and I thought they both did an outstanding job. That was definitely what I call a goalie win for San Diego. Lawson played as well as I've seen him play.
best certainly deep definitely league playing recent team test
They are still the best team in the league in my opinion, and certainly the best team we have played. Their roster is so deep and talented. We have definitely been playing better in recent games, and this will be a real test for us.
boost excellent improve instant offensive player provides scoring touch trying
We're continuously trying to improve our offensive abilities, and Ned provides an instant boost to our offense. He's a talented, offensive-minded player with excellent scoring touch and playmaking skills.
confidence nice
I think Maris is going to come back with a lot of confidence and give us a nice jolt of energy. It's something that we really need right now.
caught finishes happens hear numbers physical presence steve
Steve got caught up in the numbers game, and that happens in this league. I hear he is a physical presence who finishes off his checks, and that's what we need.
best describe hope looks practiced
That's the way it looks now. The best way to describe Jake is to say he's day-to-day. We hope he can play, but he hasn't practiced in a week.
fans games hard players team win
The players are going to play hard to win these two games for the fans and for the team and themselves.
continuity hard line moves
When you are making moves like this, it's hard to keep continuity in your line changes, but we feel we need to do this to get better.
won
We can't say we didn't have our chances, and I thought we did a lot of things well. I think we should have won the game, and it's frustrating.
flat maybe return
We've been flat and need to get a spark. Maybe Maris' return will help.
defensive game
We had to play a hard-hitting, defensive game to win, and that's what we did. It's the only thing we could do.
hoping
We're really hoping Nathan can play on Wednesday.
