chances created goals
They created the chances and created more opportunities and they got the goals.
coming intention top welcome whoever
I don't care. I want it. I welcome it. Whoever comes out on top is going to be the better for it. And I have all the intention that I'm going to be coming out on top of everything.
high move puck
He made the move to his forehand really quick, and got the puck up just high enough to get it over my pad. He executed it pretty well.
ready saves three tough
I was ready to go. It's not easy. Shootouts are never easy. It's three saves for a win. You just have to tough it out.
dig expect hole ready
I was ready to go, but it was just one of those nights. You can't dig yourself a hole like that and expect to come out.
came exploded good inch quick shot
Sanderson's got a quick release, a quick shot. When he came in, he went to his forehand. I exploded over there. He shot it about an inch over my pad, a good move. He's got quick hands, a lot of speed.
asked bigger certain changes detroit guys halfway ideal knew maybe meeting needed pads pieces tried trust worked
I was in a meeting in Detroit where they asked about certain pieces of equipment, about certain changes that they wanted to make, and they listened. Making the nets bigger wasn't really an ideal situation, we all knew it. Going drastically down to like 10-inch pads was dangerous. Guys tried 'em. It was not right. With all the additions and all the new rules, you needed maybe to go just halfway and really trust one another that it was going to work. And it does. It's worked well.
rock worse
It was rock bottom. It couldn't get any worse than that.
bit care legs practice shaking welcome
I didn't care one bit if my legs were shaking at the end of practice. I want it; I welcome it. That's how we're going to get better.
game reason team
We can't use that as an excuse. We're a much better team than what we showed. That's not the reason why the game went the way it did. We all know that and that's all that's got to be said for that.
crashing game good kept marty played road saves
We played a very good road game for two periods. We were all over them. Marty made some big saves that kept them in the game. If we play like that on the road, defensively and crashing the net, we'll be OK.
dull good half period pick puck scoring second speed third throughout
We really got going in the second half of the second period and in the third period, ... We got good scoring chances, we got the puck to the net, we got our speed going. I think more and more throughout the preseason you're going to see the new NHL, where they will pick up speed and not have those dull moments.
controlled fresh guys players running three time zone
We rotate a lot of players in those positions. The guys go out there 20, 25 seconds. The first time it's out of the zone we get a change, get some fresh legs. That allows us to get a lot of pressure, and it's a controlled pressure. When one guys goes, the other three know how to respond. It's not a free-for-all, running around.
discipline game playoffs score shut teams three
You do have to play better. In the playoffs it's going to be a different game; you're only going to score two or three a game because teams are going to shut it down. Discipline will be at a different level, so you won't get as many power-play opportunities, so we have to be better.
