certainly early factors familiar game goes grows guy happy keeps player showing solid stages
He's the kind of guy that you know he's a solid player and does a lot of little things well in the game. But he's certainly a guy that as you become more familiar with him, he grows on you. . . . There's a lot of factors to his game that he keeps showing you as it goes on, and I think we're still in the early stages with him. But so far, we've been very happy with what we've seen.
close games help learn team win
I'd like to go out and win by a big score. But I think these character-building games will help us down the line. The more you learn about your team in close games, the better you'll be down the stretch.
bad clean force marty neutral zone
It made them rework their plan. He's just so good. If we can clog up the neutral zone and force them into bad dumps, Marty will clean up a lot of that.

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.
certainly chance factor fatigue great hung marty ourselves
Fatigue was certainly a factor tonight, but we hung around and got ourselves a chance to win. Marty was great tonight.
bad focus giving habits puck taking talked team turning
The focus for our team is doing things right. We talked about habits ... That's not turning the puck over, that's not taking bad penalties, that's not giving outnumbered rushes. Those are habits you have to have in place going into the playoffs.
certain found goes guys niche people players veteran washed work
Sometimes players find a niche with a certain team, and he's found that niche. It just goes to show that those veteran guys who people think are washed up, in the right circumstances, it can work out perfectly.

Sometimes a game like this isn't bad. It allows some teaching points, and it allows us to recognize what happened here.

He sees them as well as anybody, and I trust what he has to stay.
division excuse games
There's no excuse to give away games like that, especially division games.
dynamic great hard jumps score watch works
You watch that team, and he's a dynamic player. He's great one-on-one. The thing that jumps out is how hard he works to score goals.
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.
consider fighting forcing game job players primary rules skate taking teams using whose
I like what they're doing with the rules. The rules are taking players out of the game whose primary job is fighting and forcing teams to consider using players who can skate and play.
behind provide since talked training valuable
The shootout is going to provide very valuable points. If you don't take them seriously, you're going to be behind the game. We've talked about that since Day 1 of training camp.
