effort goal handful hard instead leave mindset nice rink slide squeeze stick team victory
Sometimes when you're pressing, you squeeze the stick too hard and instead of a goal you have a handful of sawdust. A big team effort and victory erases all of that. It's nice to get off this little slide we were on. Our mindset will be so much different. They know how hard things have been and it's nice to see them leave the rink with a well-deserved smile.
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.
dangerous hard playing playoffs teams though
They play hard even though they aren't in the playoffs because they're playing for pride. Those are dangerous teams to play.
confidence describe drew good hockey instilled league money national outside pay playing rest team words
I don't know if I can come up with enough intelligent words to describe Drew MacIntyre. The confidence he has instilled in the rest of the team is unbelievable. If there is a goalie outside the National Hockey League that is playing as well as him, I'd pay good money to see him.
knows team
I've never been around a team that everyone knows they're going to come back every time. They have that never-say-die attitude.
beat games goes hockey hope team three weary
I just hope they beat each other up. I hope it goes three games and we have a weary hockey team to play.
control emotions far talk team
They need to talk about how far this team can go if we can control our emotions and talk about what is on the line.
enthusiasm fans great ice man sixth
That was great. Our fans have such great enthusiasm. They're the sixth man on the ice for us. It's an intimidation factor.
knocked maybe reality
Maybe this is good. It knocked us down a bit. Maybe we're back to reality a bit.
deserve game held hockey maybe
He held us in a hockey game that maybe we did not deserve to be in.
consistency earlier
I'd like to see a little more consistency out of Scooter and Kenny. If they play like they did earlier in the year, they can take us a long way.
bags bumps guys huge ice locker needed tough
It was huge for us. It was a very tough series. We have guys with bumps and bruises. There are ice bags all over the locker room. This allows us to get some much needed rest.
couple
He did not look out of place at all. I think he scored at least a couple on me.
sounds time
That sounds great. I'm very happy. It's been a long time coming. It's well deserved.
