concern efforts game hockey minutes ours realize
When you only play 10 minutes of a hockey game, it's not too often you come out of it with a point, ... We need to realize that we are going to need some 60-minute efforts and that has been a concern of ours as of late.
found game ourselves roller slip somehow wonder
Sometimes you wonder if you need it to be a roller coaster-type of game. We got ourselves back in the game and somehow found a way to let it slip away.
adapt apply continues course extra game guys players rules spend time top trend unit unless wear
We are going to have to do something before we really wear out our top guys with all of the power-plays we're now seeing. If this trend continues and you apply that to an 82-game schedule, that extra unit is really going to come in handy, unless of course the players adapt their game to the new rules and spend less time in the box.
absolutely alex game heard kid last positive russia saw scouts seen wait
I heard nothing but positive things from our scouts who saw Alex play in Russia last year. From what I've seen so far, they were absolutely right. This kid can play and I can't wait to see him in game situations.

best came flat games goal hopefully jump knock last legs night played playing point saw seemed senators skated skating teams third tomorrow took until wind
That goal really seemed to knock the wind out of us and you saw that in the third period. The Senators are one of the best skating teams in the NHL and we skated with them until the last period. We came out flat and they just took over from that point on. For a team that also played last night, they still had their legs tonight. Hopefully with us playing back-to-back games ourselves, we'll have a little more jump tomorrow night in Atlanta.

I thought tonight was a solid, patient game and patience paid off,

We really scraped the bottom of the barrel with our short bench. We needed a win to make our week a little happier.

I thought he played an average game. But good players find a way to make a difference, and although he had an average game, he found a way to score the winning goal.
saves third
Jose made some big saves in the third to keep us in the game.
episode paid
That episode is over, he's paid his dues,
knowing page turned
That was uncharacteristic of him. For me, it's about him knowing we've turned the page on that and that we just want him to use his skills.
definitely early goal period quick second
We get an early goal and we think we're on the right track. Then we give up two quick ones. Our second period was definitely the period that killed us.
