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.
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.
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.
compete earn earned emphasis good last placed regular season spot time whether
There's so much emphasis placed on the last time you did that, but we don't think about that at all. The regular season is to earn your spot and tell yourself whether you're good enough to compete in there or not, and we feel like we've earned that confidence.
camp couple eight four judge last minimum moves played required three throw veteran
It's the only way to judge them, throw them in those games. We are required to play eight veteran players, and we'll probably have the minimum the first couple of games. As camp moves on, because we haven't played in a while, those last three of four games, I'd like to have the lineup kind of set.
few funny last phone rang
It's funny, the phone hasn't rang the last few days.
bite couple decisions forward four games last looked next nobody time win won
The last couple games, we have made decisions that have come back to bite us. You have to look forward to the next game. You have to win four games to win a series, and the last time I looked nobody has won four yet.
happens last minutes win
You've got 60 minutes to win the game. It just happens we've used the last 20 a lot of times.
color easier game goal hair happened last led win
The goal is to win the game and you have 60 minutes. It just so happened that we used the last 20 to do that. It would be easier on the coaches' hair color if we led a little more.
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.
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.
