advantage against came game mental plan pushing soft team
We're going against a team where the whole game plan going in was to take advantage of our turnovers and soft mental play. We were pushing to take that mental play out of the equation, but there were too many times it came into it.
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.
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.
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.
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.
exhibition mind penalty shot
He scored on a penalty shot and I think he was 3-for-3 or 4-for-4 in the exhibition season. I think he's 14-for-14. That's mind boggling.
bonding either greatest helps maximum mix performance process strengths wins
One of the greatest strengths we have is we are a team. That doesn't get you wins either but it helps the process of bonding together. You mix that with maximum performance and a lot of effort, and you can be dangerous.
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.
cares credit good number numbers wins
He's had a very good year. The number he cares most about is wins. The other numbers are inconsequential. That's a credit to him; 38 wins is a lot of wins.
embraced hard played role scenario trying
He embraced the role and embraced his teammates, and his teammates, in the end, embraced him and played hard for him. That's the scenario we're trying to have.
indication issue received
It was never an issue for me. I have never received any indication that anything had changed.
gone kept looked minutes ready
He looked fine, ready to go. He could have gone more, but we kept his minutes down.
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.
