bridges chance gave kept strong
Bridges kept us in it. He gave us a chance by being strong early.
both edge impact puts records rivalry series start teams zero
Both teams start at zero and it's even going in. I don't think records have much impact on the series. It puts an edge on the series when there's a rivalry between the two teams. But in preparing, there's no difference. It just makes it a little more exciting.
matter
At this point, it doesn't matter who we're playing. We need to get some points.
felt tonight tough won
Tonight is tough to swallow. We felt we should have won this game.
early game good opposition power seemed
We just never seemed to get going the way we wanted to. We didn't play well on many fronts, but to give the opposition a power play like that early in the game just isn't good enough.
against ahead behind both chance concerned division games looking ourselves playing teams win
We're looking at things realistically. To even give ourselves a chance at the division we know we have to win both games against Everett. We're much more concerned with how we're playing than the teams ahead of us or behind us.
agreed argue blew given net referee whistle
On the explanation given to me, the referee agreed it went into the net but that he blew his whistle first. I couldn't really see it, so there wasn't a lot I could argue about.
easy good granted gut ice key time
Scott Jackson's an easy gut to take for granted when things are going good because he does everything well. He logs a lot of ice time and he's such a key part of any of our successes.
chances game liked quality tight
It was tight and intense. I liked that we got quality chances because we didn't get those in Game 2.
egg lay paper ready throughout tough weighs
It weighs on me why we weren't ready to go, because on paper that was a big game. To go out and lay an egg like that is tough to take. We just didn't play well throughout the lineup.
best game good hockey quality
The thing we like best about Jax is the more important the game or the situation, the better he plays. That's a good quality to have for a hockey player.
glamorous hard less parts played playing roman talent
Roman has really played hard and much better. He's always had the talent and now he's really playing hard in the less glamorous parts of the game.
chance created scoring
Our defenseman couldn't get there because he was getting blocked. There was a scoring chance created off of it and they scored.
add certainly depth fit gives guys improved older pieces team three
We are an improved team when you add those three pieces into our lineup. All three should fit very well. It certainly gives us much more depth up front. They're older and more experienced guys that are significant pieces to put in right now.
