challenge group point team
Our team as a group was not up to the challenge and that is unacceptable at this point of the season.
emotional lost members team valuable
The team got through an emotional day where we lost two valuable members of our team.
actions expect great guy inner lets rookies talking
I don't know if there are too many better rookies in this league. He's a guy who has an inner drive. He lets his actions do the talking and he's still a young guy. We expect a lot out of him. He has been great for us.
given goals last liked saw three
I saw a lot more that liked than I didn't like tonight. But we've given up three shorthanded goals in our last three games. And that's something that we've got to get better at.
bounce diminish far guys outcome
Our guys battled and I am not going to let this outcome diminish how far we've come in 2005. We'll bounce back in 2006.
arena fargo game guys people remember rest
These guys are going to be the first people that play in the Wells Fargo Arena in a game that matters. It's something they'll remember and take with them the rest of their lives.
great individual prospect
Once he got comfortable in that surrounding, he's really started to take off. I think this is a grade-A prospect because he's got great individual skills.
loss shots
The loss is a concern. The (number) of shots is a concern.
great practice
It will be great to get some practice time. That's one thing we haven't been able to do.
protect sit third
That's huge. We didn't sit back and protect the lead, we went after it in the third period.
coming drop early event fly gear job kids send stuff ten
Ten to 12 kids are coming in early to drop off their gear in the event that they need some seasoning. Then they will fly to Dallas. We can always send their stuff if they get a job in Dallas.
battle biggest game lead outcome plays time
I think any time you go into a game the most important person is your goaltender. He's going to lead you into battle - into the game. How he plays has the biggest outcome on the game.
carry last looking mental minutes night periods played pull toughness
The first two periods I was disappointed because we played well for 60 minutes last night and I was looking for that to carry over. We didn't do those things. It comes down to mental toughness to pull through. We have to find a way.
bit game
It was a little bit of nerves. It was our first game back here and we were anxious.
