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.
games glad hard hit night result row team totally worked
We had about 15 or 16 games in a row where we just totally outworked teams. We didn't get the result every night that we wanted, but we hit everything that moved, we worked hard -- there wasn't one team that outworked us. You're going to have a lull. We had two of them, and I'm glad we responded and didn't make it three.
five games negative playing seven team
What we thought would be a real negative of playing a team five times in seven games has become very entertaining.
concerned game games practice stanley tries trying winning
He tries this way in practice, he tries this way in Game 1, and he's trying this way now. He's more concerned about winning games and winning the Stanley Cup.
felt few games winning
I felt that that was one of the few games that we didn't give a winning effort.
four games gave good hope months three
It's going to take Brent 10, 11, 12 games. You just hope it doesn't take three or four months to get those games in. He gave us two good starts. Brent is a good goalie. And he'll give us some more good starts.
character eight games hard testament win work
They work so hard every night, and to go eight games without a win is difficult. For them to come out and to play that hard and play that well is a testament to the character in the room.
guys hard pay physical played proud teams
I thought our guys played hard and we're proud of them. We played right through to the end. We're a physical team, and we're going to make teams pay the price.
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.
ahead exhibition focusing light regular steps sure taken work
We have some work ahead of us, but we're not focusing on our first exhibition game. We're focusing on the light at the end of the tunnel. We want to make sure all steps are taken before we get to the regular season.
tape teaching tool watch
We'll watch this tape and use it as a teaching tool for our group.
fourth game good until
I thought it was a good game until the fourth goal. That was kind of a backbreaker.
confidence eight good lost straight time win
I think this is a good confidence booster for this young club. You know, before we went to Anaheim, I think we lost like eight straight (eight of nine), so it's been a long time coming. It's always good to win back-to-back games, especially on the road.
knowing serious
Knowing him the way I do, it would have to be pretty serious to keep him out of the lineup.
