easy fast goals good human nature score tendency three
I think it's human nature that when you score three goals as fast as we did, you have a tendency to think how good you are and how easy it is. In hockey, goals can come in bunches, and that's what happened.
clicking game power seems
It seems that if our power play is clicking and our goaltending is in order, we've been winning. Of course, there's more to the game than those two things, but they are two big factors.
discussed given last
It's bothersome. We've given up way too many two-on-ones and breakaways over the last 10 days, and we've discussed it as a team.
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.
hoped simplest
It's pretty severe. We had hoped it was just a twinge, but he couldn't even do the simplest drill.
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.
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.
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.
