instead stopped taking trouble
I thought we got into trouble when they started pressuring us and the five-count was on. Instead of taking them off the dribble, we got tentative. I just think we stopped attacking.
attacking decent glass good job last
I thought we got a pretty good look (on that last shot) and I thought we did a decent job of attacking the glass afterwards. Then we just had to foul.
moved played power puck score step
I thought we moved the puck around pretty well. I thought we played well five-on-five, but when you don't score that way, that's when the power play has to step up.
front great hockey improve moved puck traffic
I thought we moved the puck around pretty well and we got some traffic in front of their net. But this is a long series, and they've got a great hockey club. We've got to improve our effort.
environmental happy prisoners sort
I thought the prisoners wouldn't want to sort through the rubbish. But they were happy to do it because of the environmental benefits.
compared half offense patient second
I thought that we were more patient with our offense in the second half compared to the first which was important.
answered challenged doubts early good knew ourselves questions serious
I thought we answered a lot of serious questions about ourselves tonight. I had some serious doubts about this game. I knew they were a good team. Frankly, we hadn't been challenged early on in the season.
balls breaking cost hot threw
I thought they were hot and I could have done a better job. I threw too many breaking balls and it cost me.
bit carrie equal extra harder last plus work
I thought that if her play was equal to last year, that would be a real plus because we are so young, she will get a lot of extra attention. Naturally, Carrie has had to work a little bit harder and she's been great.
aggression eight game last plays thinking tough
I thought some of our aggression just went away. It's tough to explain. It wasn't like they were thinking the game was over at the half. In the last eight minutes, they made more plays than we did.
biggest excellent gave great handled level matter message patriotic people questions respect stand time
I thought she gave an excellent talk. She handled the questions with great respect for the people, no matter what level the question was. The biggest message is not to be passive, it's a time for people to stand up, and that may be the most patriotic thing we can do.
bit fun
I think we had a little bit of the No. 1 syndrome. This makes things fun (in league).
hump talk team
I think we got over the hump today. I told the team we don't have to talk about 1984 anymore.
feed games
I think we feed off that. These games count. That (emotion) is the way it should be.
