definitely fast guys high move puck
It's very similar. There are a lot of guys that can move the puck and a lot of high scorers that are very fast and it's definitely a lot like that.
decent focused forward game lose move played positives stay sure
We played a pretty decent game and to lose like that at the end is tough. But we got a point. Look at the positives and make sure we stay focused on the right things and move forward from this.
couple focused frustrated games goes next older responsibility saw stays
(Yesterday) was really the first day I saw him frustrated in practice. We'll see how it goes the next couple games and if need be, the older guys, that's part of our responsibility to see that he stays focused on the right things.
easy losing team trying wear
It hasn't been easy what he's had to do. The team's losing more and he's trying to keep the team in Pittsburgh. It's got to wear on you after a while.
fun great
I think it's going to be great for the game. It's really going to be a fun thing.
fun players premier
Staal is one of the premier young players in this league. It's fun working with him.
advantage
When you get goaltending like that, you have to take advantage of it.
definitely focused looking positives quit stay
We didn't quit and that's important. We are looking for a lot of positives right now. We've got to stay focused and positive and those were definitely positive signs.
good learn ourselves start
We have to learn from this, not just get excited. We have to learn from this and start something where we at least feel good about ourselves going into the (Olympic) break.
allowed game goals good hockey opportunity period road stronger teams third win
We had an opportunity to win the hockey game in the third period and allowed two goals right in the slot. Good road teams don't let that happen. We have to get better at a lot of things right now and we will, but that's one thing we have to get stronger at.
balance direction figure push starting trying
We're starting to figure it out. We've got a lot of new faces. We've got balance between young and old. And everybody's trying to push in the right direction to find the right way to play.
finding guys instead lose night start team ways winning
We're finding ways to lose instead of win. (Monday), we didn't have enough guys competing. When you play a team like this, you need everybody. We were much better the other night at home. We have to find ways to start winning these.
easier
We have to get better at it. That's one are where we really, really have to get better. Not enough desperation. Once we get that we'll make it a lot easier on ourselves.
accolades easy great guy sponge trying
He's a sponge right now. He's just trying to take everything in, and that's unbelievable for a young guy that's had all the accolades he's had up to this point. It'd be pretty easy for him to go the other way, but he's not. He's such a great kid.
