earned north people played respect
They earned the respect of North American players. They played gritty. They were winners. They made people around them better.
few layer skates
We need a few skates to get the virgin layer off.
period third totally wait
In the third period we were a totally different team, but we can't wait on our effort.
controlled
In the second, we controlled it. We had some long stretches (in Manitoba's zone).
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.
audit effort generally illustrate improving positive results software team
Generally speaking, the audit results are very positive and illustrate all the effort the Arrowhead team has put into improving the software development process.
desperate eliminate experience great match playoff situation takes team win
They were really desperate. We got to match their desperation. It's a great experience to see what it takes to win in a desperate playoff situation or eliminate a team from contention. It's a great experience for all of us.
shows tight
They were very tight. But being tight shows you care. We just had to relax.
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.
ability anyone elevated people played
Anyone he's played with has elevated their game. He has the ability to make people around him better.
great practice
It will be great to get some practice time. That's one thing we haven't been able to do.
They are very key, but it's something we'll continually change. It's not something you can write in stone.
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.
extended figured game series sloppy weekend
The first game of a extended weekend series we always tip-toe into it and are sloppy with our turnovers. Once we figured out that we we do is pretty good, then we take over the game.
