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.
execution face game good hard hopefully lose move neutral played players puck slap top turned zone
Hopefully this is a good slap in the face for our players. We turned the puck over in the neutral zone 30 times. When you lose execution its hard to get it back. I'm disappointed in the way our top players played and execution. It's just one game and we have to move on.
leaves sloppy sour tactically taste
I thought tactically we were pretty good, but we were a little sloppy at the end, which leaves a sour taste in your mouth.
credit defensive deserves dictates equation front good great guy last line marty numbers performance played team time year
I thought our team played a very good team defensive game. Hatcher had a great year and we played very well in front of Marty, but you can't get numbers like that without having an unbelievable performance from your goaltender. Marty deserves a lot of credit for that. He's the guy who a lot of time dictates a lot of the equation as the last line of defense.
goals gone gotten timely
I think we've gotten some timely goals and pucks have gone in for us. We've capitalized on our chances.
arm decided excitement fans game given nice result team ultimately
I think it's ultimately a team game that should be decided by a team. But during the season, you find a result and you just see the excitement it's given the fans and the players. It's been a nice jolt in the arm for us.
certainly laundry list seen
I think there will certainly be some movement, but there won't be the laundry list we have seen in the past.
aggressive chasing hooking penalties people sticks
Penalties with the sticks and things like that are because we're not aggressive enough. If you're chasing people from behind, hooking them, you're going to get called all night.
confidence earned good guys job played team tight together
Our guys have earned the right to be a good team and a tight team. We've played pretty well together all year, so they have confidence they can get the job done.
five marty whether win
Whether it's Marty or the team, you can't win if you give up five in the playoffs.
amazed care far few marks odd player players question
You always have some question marks about the odd player here or there, but they are so few and far between. With the way the players take care of themselves, I'd be amazed if there's very many positives.
capable deprived people physical playing
We don't feel we're deprived in that area. We feel we have people capable of playing very physical and very hard.
power pushed third
Our power play got us back into the game. And we pushed in the third and got the ones we needed.
answered good guys marty
Our big guys answered the bell, Marty included, and that's a good sign.
