based game good half ice last played situation start won
He played really good in a start in Calgary and won the last game of the first half in Seattle, so we felt, based on that, he'd get more ice time. We just try to take the goaltender situation game by game.
coached deserves five last top wishes
Over the last five years, every goalie Shane has coached has been in the top of his league, ... Shane deserves this opportunity, and the Silvertips organization wishes him the best.
experience good league
Our goalies were OK, ... This is their first experience in the league and they're young, and they did a good job.
matter nice pluto
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.
rare unusual
That will be very rare and very welcome. It's been very unusual when we've had to do that.
biggest early fairly fear games good harder health hoping knew lost team typical wins
I was hoping to get wins early because I knew it would get harder later. Then we lost the first two. I think the team did a pretty good job. Our biggest fear was the health of our team, and we got banged up. That's fairly typical when you play that many games in that many days.
eight four
We had a fear, because of four suspensions in eight games, it was going to get even more out of hand. Something's been going on.
fact goals hopefully hurt mean point sink
The fact that those kind of goals haven't really hurt us hasn't made the point sink in yet. When we give one up and lose, hopefully it will mean more to our guys.
forget found game heck hockey loved next ready teams
We had our chances, they just didn't go in. It was a game between two competitive teams in a heck of a hockey series. We would have loved to have found a way to end it tonight, but we'll just have to forget it and be ready to play our next game.
effort found good last net number power puck scoring
You have those nights, but we haven't done anything different on the power play in the last two games. We've had the same number of scoring chances. The puck has just found its way to the back of the net lately. The good thing is the effort has been pretty consistent.
division feeling granted looking start taking title
We're not taking anything for granted at this point. Our feeling is when and if there is a division title in hand, then we can start looking ahead.
plan specific stop talked team
We didn't have a specific plan to stop him. We just talked about how as a team they can really score.
crowd maybe nervous played seems thrive
He's better nervous than comfortable. He seems to thrive on the crowd and the noise. He probably hasn't played enough yet to get comfortable, so maybe that's why he's been so good.
definitely second special
There aren't many who could have scored that second goal. He's definitely a special player.
