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.
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.
finished game last might
We finished the last game with just 13 skaters, and we might have to do it again. It won't be easy.
chance close coach few games good great playing three tough turn weekend weeks win
That's tough to take, because as a coach I know that we had a great chance to win three games this weekend but couldn't do it. Obviously, we're playing better than we were a few weeks ago, and that's good to see. Now we have to find a way to turn some of these close games into wins.
game skated
It's frustrating because we really skated with them. We had our opportunities to put this game away.
against closest games guys
They are our closest rival, and the games have been competitive. I know are guys would really like to see what they can do against them at our place.
against cash five games hockey home jump last next race teams win
In the next five weeks, we have a lot of games at home and many of them are against teams in our division. If we want to jump into this race and get that last spot, we have to cash in at home and win hockey games.
game lost second type
We lost this game in the second period. It was the type of game they want to play.
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.
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.
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.
