bit worked
I think we worked and did everything we wanted to. In the end they had a little bit more in the tank.
ability affecting focus issue players playing purpose team top
The top end of our team is not playing very well right now. There is a focus or purpose issue with some of our top players right now and its affecting our ability to play 60 minutes.
body carrying cities depends extra gonna guys hour road starting trip
A lot of it depends on guys who are banged up. We're starting on a road trip and all of those cities are an hour from Omaha. I'm not carrying an extra body if they're not playing, it's that simple. Especially the young guys, they're gonna play, that's the only way they're going to get better.
means
It really is a middle-of-the-lower-body injury. That means he's week-to-week.
close game goes guess guy power
After Game 2, the one thing that's not close is power plays. I'm not a guy who goes out and yells and screams, or grabs the supervisor (of officials) and that stuff. I guess I should have got up and said something after Game 3, and I didn't.
ask guys hear honest instead teams
Officially, in March, it's a lower-body injury. We're going to do the same thing that 29 other teams do now. When you guys ask about an injury, instead of me being so honest with you, all you'll hear now is that he's got a lower-body injury.
losing northwest
Losing (first place in the Northwest division) that's not what is important. It's not where you're at in the standings, it's more about how you're playing.
break messed olympic
The Olympic break kind of messed it all up.
exceeded goal players quietly reached
Every goal that we've quietly set in our room, our players have reached it as a team. As a team, we've exceeded what I've expected. What we haven't exceeded -- or reached -- is individuals, where we thought they should be.
fine game last night overtime second third
It's a fine line. If you look at the series, the first game was an overtime game, the second game is a one-goal game, the third game was 3-2 going into the third period, last night was 2-2 into overtime.
areas bottom guys handful job players tough
Their players have been better than some of our players in the tough areas of the ice, bottom line. We have a handful of guys that can do a lot better job of getting there.
absolutely boy element next playing position talking toughest turned
You're talking about a boy that just turned 21. When you're 21 and playing in that element and in a position that next to the goalie is absolutely the toughest on the ice, it's not easy.
deserve great ownership
It's great for our players. It's great for our ownership and it's great for our fans. They all deserve to win. It's that simple.
comforting
The only thing that would be comforting for me would be that we do get to play them.
