finding games good lost overtime quite teams ways
That's the hump, the one-goal games that we have lost all year, the overtime games that we have lost all year. I think we've done good things at times just finding ways to win. Good teams find a way to win, and we are close. It's not quite there.
decisions either good throwing
We weren't making good decisions at either line, ... We weren't getting pucks out of own end. And in our end, we were throwing pucks away.
break build complacent good happen lose ourselves rebuild time trying win worst
Before going into a break you want to feel good about yourself. When you got time off the worst thing that could happen is you lose a game. You have that much more time to think about it. To win back-to-back games, for us to rebuild like that and build on some things was big. Not being complacent after a win was big for us. We're trying to claw ourselves back to that .500 level.
anytime build definitely face good hopefully nice pittsburgh regular walk
Anytime you come to play, you want to win, ... It's nice to walk away with a win. It's definitely not the same Pittsburgh Penguins we'll face in the regular season, but we did some good things that hopefully we can build off of.

When we've been down a goal at the start of the third, we've tried to make too much happen,
fast guys hooking wrap
You have to be fast now. You used to be able to get by with hooking and holding. Not now. You can't wrap guys up the way it was in the past.
chance game gave half
We had a chance, we were up 3-0 with half the game done. We gave them a chance to come back.
giving needed
We were giving up between 35 and 50 shots, so something needed to change.
played
When we weren't in the box, I thought we played pretty well.
gave respect result room time
If anything, it was more us than Thornton. We gave him too much respect and as a result he had room to operate. We can't give him that much time and space.
determined evidence paperwork smell
From the preponderance of evidence in their paperwork alone, we determined that there was too much going on that didn't smell right.
adam advantage games hunter invaluable job looked steve talk took year
I always looked up to those guys, ... I was able to have Dale Hunter to talk to my first year when he had a job in the organization. Just being able to talk to him after games and after practices, it was an invaluable experience. And to play with Adam Oates and Steve Konowalchuk, there was a lot to learn. Hopefully, I took advantage of that.
enabling fan fans favorite game great guy line opens red score
You get a guy like that, he's going to score 25, 30, 35 goals. It will be interesting to see if the game opens up without the red line enabling him to use his speed. I don't know what Bonzai is going to do. He's been a fan favorite for so many years. It would be great for the fans to see him come back.
