areas good guys player puck splash
He's a good player. The thing about Dustin Boyd is he's a 200-foot player. There's some other guys that get a lot of splash because they're spectacular when they have the puck but he's a good player in all areas of the game.
counting good guys
It's about warriors. There's guys that we're counting on and that they're counting on to be really good in the trenches.
beaten great guys legs played
In the end, they just had more legs than we did. We were beaten by a great team. I thought our guys played great.
count everybody expects good guys players ready
After the first period, it wasn't 1-0. It should have been more for them. Early, we had some players that weren't ready to play and that's disappointing. It's guys that you count on and everybody expects to be good players.
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.
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.
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.
complex honestly hook issues quite resolution seeing small ways
Quite honestly I think we're still a long ways off. I think it's a lot more complex than what you're seeing and hearing. There's big issues and a lot of small issues that hook into them. So to think there's any resolution is really premature.
excellent forward huge interested last means player proven since three
Marcus is an excellent two-way player, proven in the NHL and can play all three forward positions. He is by no means a short-term acquisition. He is a player I have been interested in since last summer. What's huge for us is that we did not have to give up a roster player or a prospect.
agent anybody free honestly quite signed
I think quite honestly we've signed the No. 1 free agent in the market. I don't think there's anybody else that compares.
difference last performance team
He's made that team on his performance over the last two seasons, not two weeks. The 19-year-olds are the difference in that tournament, always.
biggest goal
It's not how many you get, it's how many big ones. That was the biggest goal of the game.
focus less
It's about preparation and focus and one less interview.
goals lots pivotal power scores team
For a team that's not a high-scoring team, our power play scores lots of big goals, goals that are at pivotal times.
