boards pay playing playoff protect puck turn
We're playing really well up to that point. We make a play up the boards to our winger and we turn the puck over. You can't do that. It's playoff hockey, you can't do it. You've got to pay a price, get the puck out or protect it.
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.
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.
accept game half playing reflection tank
We're playing on about half a tank and you need your goalie to play really well and our goalie didn't play very well. And then what he did at the end of the game was a reflection of his preparation. It was a very undisciplined thing to do and I don't accept it.
ask good hockey league move national night omaha phil player playing send weakest yes
I could ask Phil to go on conditioning (assignment) and he could say yes or no. This way, I don't have to ask him. If I want to send him down, (I'll) send him down. We have two (goalies) playing in Omaha and 20 in the National Hockey League that could move here tomorrow. We're as good as our weakest player and the other night he was our weakest player. It's not acceptable.

If you look at the last two games, there's a whole game of special teams. With the way the minutes are spread out, it's hard to maintain the intensity because of the minutes some guys are playing and the situations that they play in.

I think we worked and did everything we wanted to. In the end they had a little bit more in the tank.
hockey main reasons win
Kipper is always one of the main reasons why we win hockey games.
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.

It seems like we're doing just enough to lose by a little.

It's the nuts and bolts time of the year and we don't have enough nuts and bolts.

I know you define leads by goals having the lead, but we never really had the lead.
