ability best compete good matter practice talents warrior whether
His ability to compete is his best talent, and his talents are good ? they're really good. He's just got a warrior mentality, and he does it every day. He's one of those really, really good players, and it doesn't matter to him whether it's practice or a game.
playing
He's really playing well. He stabilized us (when we were struggling).
locker room saw stick until walked
I didn't know anything about it until I walked in the locker room one day, and I saw a stick in the garbage. I was going to take it out. Then I was notified that they're there for a reason.
allowed close guy mind steps
He (the referee) told me that he's allowed to play it when he steps off the bench. In his mind, he thought the guy was close enough.
afraid forward perfect scenario step
He's not afraid to step forward and get it done, and it's a perfect scenario for us.
couple darn fashion games growth injuries last missed responding
He's missed so much time. The darn injuries the last couple years have really slowed his growth down, and now he's getting games in consecutive fashion and I think he's responding very well to that.
adjust change nice team
The nice thing about our team right now is we don't have to change anything. We're not going to adjust our lineup. We're not going to change what we're doing.
anybody complaints complaints-and-complaining dealt difficult handle hard
It's very difficult obviously, and it's hard for anybody to handle it perfect. But I have no complaints at all with how he's dealt with it.
everybody games hockey knows time win
Everybody knows the significance of the games and the time of the year. We want to win two hockey games this weekend.
five kept six solid
That first period, they could have had five or six alone. He was really solid and kept us in the game.
defensive expect injury neutral scoring trouble zone
They've had trouble scoring and they've got some injury situations. I expect it to be a defensive game. I think we'll see some fallback and some neutral zone trapping.
defend great played speed tough
It's a tough loss. We played a great first period, but their speed is tough to defend against.
awful trust
I trust them to go out there and be responsible and play how we want to play and that's not unusual. They've done that an awful lot for us.
clearly knew official shot
It was clearly in. But from the shot they have to use for the replay, they couldn't tell. We knew immediately it was in. But there was nothing the official could've done.
