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.
came chances controlled feet few goal line power problems puck special teams year
We battled hard. Physically, I thought we controlled that part of the game. We had chances at the end -- we had two whacks at a puck a few feet from the goal line -- but it came down to special teams again. Most of our problems this year have come on the power play.
focus played second teams unless wave
He has played a lot of hockey, more than he has in the past. Unless we get a second wave of attack, teams kind of focus on him. It will be really difficult.
attach example extra fairly likely quite sad team teams word
Here we are, we're out of the playoffs, and as coaches, we're all quite sad we didn't get the extra point. It's just another example of a team that's fairly resilient. For a team with 61 points, I think there's likely not a lot of teams like that you could attach that word to.
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.
beat deserve directing far game good hard job life losing net saves seen teams
As far as losing in overtime, we didn't deserve to be there. 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.
admit choose few playoff race replace separated separation situation teams themselves younger
I can choose for this situation to use me, but I'm not going to. There are a few teams who have separated themselves from the playoff race and we're one of them. I won't say we're out of it - I'll never admit that. But there is a separation where if we are to replace people, we will see a younger player.
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.
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.
