There's a sense of urgency until we're in the playoffs. We can't take anything for granted.

He's obviously talented. He's a top prospect, and he's going to help us out.

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.

It's one of those things that happens, and you shake your head and say, 'are you kidding me?' It's unbelievable.

Ryan's making smarter plays, better decisions with the puck. When he jumps up into the play, I think he's figured out, if he keeps things a little simpler, the chances will come. Early on, I think he was forcing plays.

You can block shots. We didn't get in any lanes. All their shots got through all night, and they blocked a ton of our shots.

You like to see that. It is a game. The guys should have fun and enjoy what they're doing. There's a time you've got to bear down, work on your game, work on some things. He's learning when to do it, when not to.

We've got a (scouting report), we're trying to do something, and guys are doing their own thing. We had some chances, but we've gone oh-fer our last two games. It's hurt us.
eight fair foot games gauge left pedal three
We've got eight games left over three weeks, so I'm not too concerned. He'll tell me if he's tired, and I'll gauge accordingly. We're still not in (the playoffs). For me to take my foot off the pedal wouldn't be fair to anybody.
guys people pulling showing team thinking
We've got guys who aren't thinking of the team right now. They're thinking of themselves. It's showing up. We need people pulling on the rope.
