energetic game good nice push rewarded
They play a very energetic style, and they do a lot of good things that push the game along. But it would be nice to see them get rewarded every now and then.
camp determined ethic games good sure training wants work
He's been real good in training camp and the preseason games. He's got a real determined work ethic right now and I think part of that is because of the injury. He wants to make sure that he's all the way back.
couple game good pressure took
He made a couple good saves. He took a lot of pressure this game on himself.
commitment games jump willing
Games come down to little things and commitment and willing to jump into battles. There wasn't enough commitment (Saturday).
blocks building game last solid three
That was a pretty solid game on our part. The last three games, we've put a lot of building blocks in place. We've just got to keep building on it.
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.
bill elevated game help knows plus
Bill knows how he's going to have to play in the playoffs. I've had long conversations with Bill about how he can most help our team. If he can get his game elevated enough and going, it's another plus for us.
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.
blocking game win
Blocking shots, it's going to hurt. You can't win in this game without getting hurt.
certainly early factors familiar game goes grows guy happy keeps showing stages
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.
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.
battles concern division erratic expect game guys poor scared winning
That game is a real concern because that's a big division game that you expect to play well in. That was a combination of poor mistakes, not winning one-on-one battles and erratic play. At times, you had guys scared to make a play.
becomes deserve extra factor game outweigh rhythm seven stronger
It's not that seven don't deserve to play or can't play, but rhythm in the game becomes a stronger factor that will outweigh an extra player.
games leave sour
They should think about this and how it feels. Games like this should leave a sour taste.
