advantage bent played
I don't think we played well. They had the territorial advantage, I guess. We bent a lot but we didn't break.
conducive since
I don't think it was conducive to what we had. We've come a long way since that game.
ability extra pass poise stops three waits
His poise with the puck, his ability to make plays, set him apart. He waits that extra second, stops on a dime, and makes a pass through three sticks, on the tape.
hard mature positive team
He's a very mature kid, a very positive kid. He's hard working, team oriented: He has all the intangibles.
calm saves seem sports supposed
He's calm and cool. He doesn't seem to get rattled. He makes the saves he's supposed to make. He's solid. He's a gamer.
learning
He's been very good, and he's still learning the position, too.
check couple guy teams
He's been our go-to guy for a couple of years now. Other teams know about him, they check him, and he still produces.
appreciate great sucking
He's been a trouper. He's been in pain, but he's sucking it up for the team. It's a great thing he's doing for us, and I appreciate it.
stepping
Hopefully, (Wednesday) is a stepping stone. We can't make it a one-night wonder.
deep group happy lost pick role
We lost some defensemen. We had a possibility to pick up Pratt. Obviously, we have a very deep group of forwards. I don't know if Travis was too happy with his role here.
bottom
But as a coach, you want those decisions. They make us a better team; that's the bottom line. We'll use them while we can.
chip goals guy three
He cares. He's not the kind of guy who's going to get three goals a night, but he can chip in. He's a blue-collar guy.
goes good guy leaves runs
He leaves everything on the ice, and he's got some pretty good skills, too. He's not a guy that goes out and runs everything that moves. He can make a pass.
guys played stepped
Guys stepped in who hadn't played a lot before. For me, it's really satisfying. I'm really proud.
