few sure teams wrinkles
I'm sure teams will try a few wrinkles here and there, but I think you just have to go out and play hard.
build consistent effort generally good
It's about getting consistent efforts. We can build off this game. It was generally a good effort and we'll need more of that this weekend.
game
It's a game of opportunities and making the most of them. We didn't, and they did.
attitude commitment good guys ice legs pay talk unless willing work
It's all attitude. Some guys are willing to do it. Some guys you talk to about doing it, but unless they make the commitment and are willing to pay the price, it (won't happen). It's a real choice. It's an attitude about getting dirty. You're going to have to have ice packs on your legs and arms. Some guys are very good at it, and some guys need to work at it a lot more.
anytime best healthy status team
It's just the doctor's recommendation. It's just going to take too long for him to get back to healthy status anytime soon. This is what's best for the team and for himself.
defense difficult far felt game poor referee took tough trying
It's a tough game to play as far as the way the game was called. It was just so poor that it made it a difficult game to play. In defense of especially our team, we felt like we couldn't do anything. The referee took everything away from what we were trying to do.
battle good
It was a good battle with some good fights. We did what we had to do and scored some power-play goals.
time
At this time we don't think it's anything serious, but we're making sure.
business care emphasis playing
The emphasis for us is to keep playing well and keep getting wins. Let's take care of business day-to-day.
finish good high team
It is good for our team to finish as high as possible.
side
It's nothing serious. If we had to play him we probably could have, but we are erring on the side of caution.
bad
We were not too bad for the first two periods.
anybody chances game good learn quality scoring time zone
I thought we had as many good quality scoring chances as they did. But we've got to realize, we can't get into a run-and-gun game with anybody at this time of year. We've got to learn from Game 1 that we've got to play a little tighter in our own zone and a little better defensively.
game goals last nowhere periods played point result slowly terrible three
We'll take a point any way we can get it. We battled back the last two periods after having just a terrible first period. We were nowhere to be found. Our game slowly got better the last 30 minutes. We really played to our abilities and got three goals as a result of it.
