bit decided groin night sore
It's a bit of a sore groin or hamstring, something. He was just a little tender, so we decided to give him a night off.
competing early earn people players spots themselves whittle
It's early and things will whittle themselves out. Players are competing for spots and minutes, and at the end of the day, the people who earn the spots are going to get it.
far touch
It was a hole-in-the-wall, about as far from five-star as you can get. It was a touch of reality.
great
It was amazing. It was a great experience.
since talked training
It's something we take very seriously. We've talked about that since the first day in training camp.
good nice period rewarded team third together wrapped
We got rewarded for the good things we've been doing. It was nice to see the team come together a little bit. The third period kind of wrapped it all up.
against capitalize chances fluke games gone gotten played teams timely
I think we've gotten some timely goals, and the pucks have gone in for us. I don't know, I think we've played better games against other teams and not scored as many. I think it's a fluke thing that we've been able to capitalize on as many chances as we have.
against period start third
I'm disappointed we didn't play well from the start and do what we did in the third period for the whole game. We'll have to play a lot better against Ottawa.

He's one of our young guys who has the ability to score and put points on the board. There's always a transition coming over here, but we'll see how he adjusts as the level goes up through the exhibition games.
caught chances effort good less score
It was less about effort and more about execution. We had some good chances and didn't score and it caught up with us.
against games known league played rest starting tough
They've always played tough games against us, so we've known about them for a while. Now the rest of the league is starting to find out.
both circumstance draw game huge human impact nature negatives player positive rarely sides talking
Very rarely do you see a circumstance in the game where a player has such an impact on both sides of the game. Brenden had a huge impact in that game for us in a positive way. But just like everything else in human nature and life, we're all talking about the negatives (Thursday) and that's what he would draw on I'm sure.
best counted drag everybody gone needed players step
Things haven't gone the way we would have liked. We needed our best players to step up and be counted and drag everybody else through.
cannot caught game message prepare test today tonight
The message today was to prepare for our game and what we need to do to win. Tonight is the night that it was really put to the test because you cannot get caught up in everything that is going around.
