couple
He did not look out of place at all. I think he scored at least a couple on me.
great line playing step
We've been playing great as a team. Everyone has contributed. If one line wasn't playing well another one would step up and be the hero.
boosts energy games good guys help mix older three works
We've got a good mix of young and old. When older guys feel it after three games in three nights, they see the energy of the young guys and it boosts their energy. It works the other way, too. The older guys help the young guys work through things.
became best interests players point safety tried
We tried to let things go as long as we could, but it got to the point where the safety of the players became a concern. You've got to think of the players' best interests and not put them in harm's way.
along confidence front playing solid
We just need to keep playing the way we've been playing. We are solid up front and along the back and in goal. We just have to keep our confidence going and not make mistakes.
desperate happy maybe players visibly
We weren't happy going down 4-2, the players were visibly upset. Maybe we need to play desperate more often because they really responded.
against backs coaching confident nice perspective team
When our backs are against the wall, we are a confident team and that's very nice from a coaching perspective.
knocked maybe reality
Maybe this is good. It knocked us down a bit. Maybe we're back to reality a bit.
capable line nice putting whatever
Right now it's better than ever. It's nice to know that whatever line we put out there, they're capable of putting it in the net.
awesome cares confidence dedicated disappoint gave mac none players shot shows team
Mac has been awesome for us. He gave the whole team a shot in the arm. He instills a lot of confidence in our team. He was dedicated to come back here and it shows how much he cares about organization. None of the players want to disappoint him.
guys hard points step tonight tough
When times are tough and points are hard to come by, we need individuals to step up to be heroes. Tonight we had a lot of guys who were heroes.
best good period third
The third period has always been our best period. But I don't think it's ever been this good to us.
consistency good hockey minutes played problem tonight
Consistency has been a problem for us, especially on the road. But we played 50 minutes of good hockey tonight and that's not always enough, but it was tonight.
against game great match teams
Another great game. Two great teams that match up well against each other, and we were just on the other end of it tonight.
