I think that's a definite reflection on the opportunities for business growth in the High Desert. I don't think the High Desert is a secret anymore.
exceeding far score
I thought he could score 40 this year, and now he's there. He's exceeding all my expectations as far as I'm concerned.
eight game lose next tonight win
I will not win a game tonight to lose the next eight games. I will lose a game tonight to win the next eight games, if that makes any sense.
add goals guys handle leadership left mature provided stability time
If you look at the guys who left and add up the goals they scored, it really wasn't very many. They provided leadership and stability in the room, and now it's time for other guys to have that responsibility, because they're mature enough to handle it.

For a while there, I thought we were looking for ways to lose. I'm just glad we found a way to win.

For all the people who say we're too young, this is when it really comes in handy. I've seen some of the teams that are longer in the tooth -- they're the ones that are really weary on the second nights.

It's great that kids like Stevie are contributing. He certainly acts like he belongs here.
build clear front hard move people tackle tried work
It's hard for the defensemen to clear people when you can't tackle them in front of the net. You can still play defense, but you have to work much harder. You have to move your feet, and defensemen have to be mobile, which is how we tried to build our team.
came cap couple feather hours huge sixth vancouver
It's huge to get that out of the way. All we really do is get to think about it for a couple hours here and play Vancouver again. If we could get sixth or even fifth, that would be a real feather in our cap considering where we came from.
