talk trust ultimate work
We work on things, we talk about things. But in the end, that's the ultimate one-on-one, and you have to trust the player.
below guys par played whatever
We sensed during this morning's skate-around that there wasn't much energy. Whatever it was, I thought there were a lot of guys that played below par tonight.
numbers seven wrong
We're going to need all seven of those guys. To put numbers on them, that would be wrong right now.
best dress guys team
We're going to dress the best team we can. And if one of those young guys is in that mix, that's the way it's going to be.
momentum side
We feel the momentum is on our side now.
among chart depth eighth
We'd like to get him acclimated with our team. Right now, you'd probably put him eighth on our depth chart among defensemen. That's an important position.
bit changes craig few guy knack obviously personnel teams thinks
When I was in the IHL there were a few teams that used to do that. Some goaltenders just have a knack for breakaways and it can give your team a little bit of a boost. You have to know your personnel before you can make those changes and obviously Craig thinks Morrison is the guy on breakaways.
effort execution expect game higher
Frustration. Come out with effort and execution like that in Game 1 is unacceptable. It's not who we are as a team, and not who we expect to be. Our expectations are much higher than that.
confidence guys hopefully hot
Goal-scorers are guys who can get hot when they get confidence and can go on a run. Not much has been going in. Hopefully this will get him going.
against best guard hungry last meet point round team
If we say we're all right and meet a team in the first round that's been hungry for the last month, that's a problem. We'll do our best to guard against that. At no point are we going to say we're going to back off.
mind
His mind is in the right place now.
period score third timing
His timing was perfect. Going into the third period with the lead, you should win. Especially when you score right at the buzzer. It's really deflating.
becomes game great hockey injury player win
Hockey is a game where intimidation is still a part of the game, and you'll go to great lengths to try to win a game. If you know a player has an injury or weakness, he becomes vulnerable. He becomes targeted.
impact quiet smart though
He's a very smart player. He has an impact on the game, even though it's a quiet impact.
