depth five four gives lots move played players playing quality
It gives us quality players back there and lots of depth. For a while there, we were playing with five 'D' for a whole month, I think and for a while we played with four 'D' for a little bit. You need the depth as you move on.
competing fantastic great intensity player playing
I thought he was great tonight. And that's the way we need him to play every night. With that same intensity and that same drive. He's a fantastic player when he's competing and playing hard.
cleaning good help
I think it's going to do a lot of good for the city. I think that it's going to help out by cleaning up the houses, some of the streets.
case great guys playing
That was a great play by Troy. That was another case of our guys playing with great heart.
beat game good hockey minutes supposed work
That's the way we're supposed to play. And (the Game 5 loss) wasn't the way we were supposed to play. If we work for 60 minutes, we've got a good hockey team. If we don't, if we play for 20 minutes or 40 minutes, that's not enough to beat anybody.
discipline early lack late playing saved
What killed us early was a lack of discipline and what saved us late was playing with discipline.
hard obviously weekend
This was a hard weekend on us. We obviously didn't give enough. We have to get back on track.
anywhere confident ourselves road
We feel confident going on the road as we do anywhere else. We've got to get something done. We haven't done it yet. We're disappointed in ourselves and we've got to get back on it.
division fighting fights-and-fighting good left step title toward work
We're fighting for the division title and this is a good step toward that, but we still have a little work left to do.
although competition decisions defense gives guys starting
We're starting to get our guys back who were hurt, which is great, although it gives us a lot of decisions to make. There's competition on defense for who's going to be in the lineup each and every night, which is good.
bad discipline focus lose lost plan stick time year
We lost our discipline and we lost our composure, and at this time of year you need that. You can't lose focus of what you're doing. If something bad happens, you've got to stick to the plan and keep working.
biggest composure cost discipline hockey issue lost minutes seven six stay stronger surprise time year
We lost our composure for six or seven minutes and that cost us. It doesn't surprise me (because) that's been our biggest issue all year is having discipline and having composure. This time of year, it's magnified and you have to be even stronger and you've got to have a stronger will and stay in the hockey game.
turn
What else could we do but turn it up. We did and now we're still in the series.
composure discipline game hard maintain
We've got to maintain our discipline and we've got to maintain composure (today in Game 2). We've got to come out and play hard for 60 minutes.
