It doesn't matter if it's here, Pluto or Jupiter. It's just nice to get a win, especially after such an evenly-played game.

Then we have no choice but to make some tough decisions.

act balancing concerned difficult playing proper rested staying time year
This is a challenging time of year because there isn't a lot to play for in the standings. It's a balancing act between staying healthy, getting rested and still playing proper hockey. It's different and difficult because the rest of the year all you're concerned about is winning.
bad gave goals grade saves
I'd give Leland about a C grade for the game. I don't think he gave up a lot of bad goals where you would give him a D or an F, but he didn't make the big saves when he had to, either.
bold earlier fact haunt last learned lost move provide reminder row season seven swing team three turn
This team has learned over the last three years that things can swing and move quickly. The fact that we lost seven in a row earlier in the season shouldn't haunt us, but it does provide a really sharp, bold reminder that things can turn very quickly.
break caught fortunate gave goal good hard offense rusty seconds talked
We talked about how good they were and then gave them a goal in the first 15 seconds of the game. It's very hard to keep the offense going when there's a long break and we were very fortunate that we caught them in a rusty mode.
anyway assets bench felt half kept key lose might mike partly traded
We traded Mike partly because we felt we might well lose him anyway and partly because if we kept them both, one of our key assets would have been on the bench for half our games.
basis behind bit care cliche coaster early experience focus front future goals half happened hard highs itself lessons looking lows ride roller work worry
We're looking to try and put the first half behind us. There were highs and lows and a little bit of a roller coaster ride early on. We want to take lessons from that experience and set goals for the future. But really we try to focus on - not to be cliche - a shift-to-shift, period-to-period, game-top-game basis and not worry too much about what's happened or what's in front of us. I think the future will take care of itself if we just work hard every day.
definitely second special
There aren't many who could have scored that second goal. He's definitely a special player.
hockey two language
We only speak two languages here: English and profanity.

In the playoffs will beats skill.

Potential is synonymous with getting your ass kicked.
gave goal god good playing seconds sharp talked thank woke
We're real happy. We talked about how good they are and how sharp we'd have to be, then we gave them a goal 15 seconds into the game. Thank God that kind of woke us up, and then we started playing pretty hard.
