momentum side
We feel the momentum is on our side now.
chance smart
We didn't want to take a chance with it. It's just being smart and not doing anything crazy.
build though
There are things to build on, even though we're down 2-0.
believe competition division focus good grasp happy lock players playing recognize seven teams
We have a real focus on these seven division games. Hopefully, we have a good grasp on being able to lock up the division. Believe me, I'm happy we're playing teams like this. Our players recognize competition, and this is good competition for us.
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.
captain great hungry job prove team
He has done a great job as captain of our team this year. I think they are all hungry to prove they can get the job done.
period score third timing
His timing was perfect. Going into the third period with the lead, you should win. Especially when you score right at the buzzer. It's really deflating.
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.
among chart depth eighth
We'd like to get him acclimated with our team. Right now, you'd probably put him eighth on our depth chart among defensemen. That's an important position.
average
There are things he does that the average person doesn't see, but we see it.
bit changes craig few guy knack obviously personnel teams thinks
When I was in the IHL there were a few teams that used to do that. Some goaltenders just have a knack for breakaways and it can give your team a little bit of a boost. You have to know your personnel before you can make those changes and obviously Craig thinks Morrison is the guy on breakaways.
best dress guys team
We're going to dress the best team we can. And if one of those young guys is in that mix, that's the way it's going to be.
happen marks question
There are some question marks and things that need to happen for us, but I like this team.
