create focus power scoring ways
That's something we really need to focus on. Our power play's been there most nights, but five-on-five, we have to find ways to create more scoring opportunities.
grapes guys sour timing upset
Guys were upset over some of the things that were going on off the ice. But the timing of it, it sounded like sour grapes after losing.
continues definite few goes guy last pain played tonight toughest
He could be the toughest guy I've ever played with. He was in definite pain the last few days. I for one never thought he was going to play tonight and he goes out and continues to amaze.
buried fastest goal great history pipe player stepped team walked
That's got to be the fastest goal scored by a new player on a new team in history. He stepped on the ice, walked right down the pipe and buried it. That was a great start.
enjoyable family frustrated happy hockey obviously though
The hockey was great, though we were obviously frustrated we didn't win. I was happy my family was able to go with me and that made it a really enjoyable experience.
absolutely game games intense
I think it makes the game more interesting for the fans. For the players, absolutely the games become more intense each time. I'd like to see more of it.
awake beginning drill few gets pay practice properly start sure wants wide
He's got everyone's attention. He gets you wide awake at the beginning of each practice and you've got to be sharp, got to be on your toes. He wants you to listen, he wants you to start each drill properly and make sure you know what you're doing. If you don't, get out of the way. Same thing with our meetings. It's, 'Stop what you're doing and pay attention.' He only has to say it a few times and everyone catches on.
net quickly shot tonight
I just try to get a shot on net as quickly as possible, and tonight I got lucky.
opinion ourselves seed
I'm of the opinion that we didn't play well enough to win. We didn't play like the No.1 seed for this whole series. We put ourselves in this position, that's the unfortunate thing.
espn highlights life turn
That's what you're going to see when you turn on ESPN highlights every night, ... Or the OLN (Outdoor Life Network) highlights.
built deal excuses expect gone hard night played plenty schedule travel worked
It's another part of the schedule we have to deal with. The travel is terrible, so there's plenty of excuses built in for us, but we've gone out every night and worked hard and played the same way. I don't expect anything different in these games.
anytime found ice middle
Anytime you're in the middle of the ice like that, you got to let it go. I just found the hole.
couple inches seem seemed
We just didn't seem to be able to get anything settled. We seemed to be a couple of inches off (on passes) all night.
dressing game greatest
We've got some of the greatest goal-scorers ever to play in the game in our dressing room.
