game penalties point turning
It was a game where we didn't play very well. We had some penalties we took. ... It was 1-0, then it was 3-0 and that was the turning point in the game.
close games involved likely next people player quite special sure time win wish
I think the two people involved would likely wish it would just go away. This time it's not quite the same as it was the first time. There's special games for each player in the room. It's a close group, and I'm sure they would like to win for Alex, but it's just our next game.
candidate guys help seen standing
He's a candidate but our standing doesn't help his cause. I can say this though. I haven't seen many guys more enthusiastic for the game.
answer gone looked tangible
I don't know why there is such a disparity. How do you give a tangible answer to that? I've gone over everything. I've looked at all the statistics.
finish goals happy hated meant sad
I'm happy he got to 50. I would have hated to see him finish at 49 goals. It would have been sad because I know what it has meant to him.
anytime clear fact given good hard percent player practice respect skate team wants worked
I respect the fact he's worked hard through this and been a good team player for us. Anytime there's been a skate or practice or meeting, whatever, he's given us 100 percent of his time and effort. But he's made it clear he wants to leave.
flow
There's a flow to the game, but when you take penalties, there is no flow.
apply fairly ice people perfect pressure simple speed system utilize
I think our system can utilize his speed to the fullest. We like to apply pressure and get up the ice in a hurry, so I think this system is perfect for him. It's a fairly simple system -- it frees people to skate.
miss practice single
That's the part I like. He didn't miss a single practice.
beat directing game good hard job life net saves seen teams
I've never seen so many good saves in a game in my life by a goalie. They beat us at our game, and our game is outworking teams and directing pucks to the net and they did a good job at that. That's the hard part to swallow.
agree course explained hear puck rule whistle
Did I hear a whistle before the puck went in the net? No, of course not. The interpretation of the rule was explained to me and I don't agree with it.
caught guard waiting
That caught me off guard a little bit. We're still waiting to get him better so he can play. It's been a long time; he's week-to-week.
aware catch sneak speed strengths team
Their speed didn't catch us off guard. This team doesn't sneak up on anybody. We're all well aware of their speed and strengths and how well they can play defensively.
five four moves space three
He had three or four moves in the space of four or five feet. Pretty impressive.
