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.
chance expect expects marty responsibility role top whether win
Marty will play tomorrow. We expect Marty to be a top goaltender every night. Whether he expects it or not, that's the role we put him in, and he has to take that responsibility and give us a chance to win every night.
excelled good guys jump knew roles
There were a lot of guys that we put into roles where we knew they had to jump in and do a good job. They've excelled in all of them.
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.
indication issue received
It was never an issue for me. I have never received any indication that anything had changed.
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.
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.
beaten cut defense ended giving goals hands kept night penalties played six took worst
This is the worst our defense has played all season, hands down. Giving up six goals a night just isn't going to cut it. We just kept on getting beaten and making mistakes, then the penalties we took ended up in our net.
answered good guys marty
Our big guys answered the bell, Marty included, and that's a good sign.
line seemed
Each line got a goal. So it seemed to work.
