four fourth goals net
You can't have (expletive) four goals in our net on 10 chances. Especially the fourth goal. It can't happen.
chances felt four fourth goals good net scoring
I felt we did some really good things. I thought our counters were good tonight. We end up with 18 scoring chances to 10 (for Montreal). We can't have four goals go in our net on 10 chances. Especially the fourth goal.

Four goals in 16 shots. ... I'm really tired of the 25-percent rule.

call four occasional shots spade trying
It's deflating to see 16 shots and four of them in the net, let's call a spade a spade. He's trying like hell, (but) we need (an) occasional save.
arty book far few four goes hard hit possibly raw readiness remember tried weeks work worry
I've tried to work with him this year. I remember I told him a few weeks ago, I said, 'Arty, don't worry about anything, just go and hit as hard as you possibly can.' He proceeded to go out and take four penalties. So, it's kind of a give and take here. But we want him to play hard. And the book on Arty is that he goes up and down as far as his readiness to play. But remember, he is a raw talent. And still a very young man, and you have to live with some of those bumps.
almost best dominate dominates dominating five four games players six start swagger three win
Your best players need to be your best players and almost dominate games. Or your goaltending dominates a game. You just need some dominating performances, and if you're going to have dominating performances, it's going to come from your best guys. And if you sprinkle two or three of those in six games, and you find a way to win four or five games, that's when you start getting that swagger back.
four goals occasional played
I'd just like to get a save. It's tough. I didn't think Grahame played well. You give up four goals on 17 shots. We need the occasional save.

It better not be hard. We have to maintain it.

New Jersey must be a very disciplined team considering all the time we spent in their end zone.
happening played team
I am pissed, I am pissed at what is happening there. Because I thought our team played very well (Wednesday).
bothers cannot game goal lets looking lousy shut start whatever win wrong
The thing that bothers me the most is I just thought we shut it down. Was our goaltending good? No, it wasn't good. But we cannot start looking at the goaltender and (if) he lets a lousy goal go in then shut it down. If we're not getting the saves, we better win the game 6-5 or whatever it has to be. But to shut it down, that's the wrong way to go here. And that's what disturbs me the most.

I think the room has really responded. No disrespect to Andy, but this team is worrying about playing better and they're playing very well.
looked ready surprised team
I thought we were ready to play. But we looked surprised that there was another team on ice.
