experience factor solid
I think Janne was a very solid player. You could tell the experience factor was on his side.
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.
certainly early factors familiar game goes grows guy happy keeps player showing solid stages
He's the kind of guy that you know he's a solid player and does a lot of little things well in the game. But 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.
chances harder played solid
He played a solid game. There were some chances that were a lot harder than I think they looked.
solid
It was just a solid hit. That's part of the game.
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.
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.
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.
confidence earned good guys job played team tight together
Our guys have earned the right to be a good team and a tight team. We've played pretty well together all year, so they have confidence they can get the job done.
five marty whether win
Whether it's Marty or the team, you can't win if you give up five in the playoffs.
amazed care far few marks odd player players question
You always have some question marks about the odd player here or there, but they are so few and far between. With the way the players take care of themselves, I'd be amazed if there's very many positives.
