casual gave gotten pay puck second talked third
It was a play where we could have gotten the puck and we didn't. We were casual and they made us pay for it. We talked about that between the second and the third periods. We just gave them life.
both certainly deserved happy overtime played points
It was kind of old-time hockey. I'm not happy that we had to go to overtime to win, but we certainly deserved both points with the way we played physically.
awhile foot future game gas hard looking risking
It was looking for awhile like the way the game started that we weren't going to get anything and once we battled back it's hard in a game like that to keep your foot on the gas without risking anything and I think in the future we've got to keep on pushing.
bench generally hang
The feel on the bench is that something good's going to happen. Generally speaking, we hang in there.
glad joe struggling
I'm glad Joe scored the goal. He's been struggling lately.
draw seriously stayed
I'm not going to say he stayed down to draw the penalty. I didn't really see the play. He did come back so he wasn't seriously injured, fortunately.
consider lightning played rod seen speak wrong
I'm not going to say consider the source, but why he was the lightning rod for everything wrong in Boston, I don't know. And I can only speak on what I've seen here, and he played great.
control half happy number played scoring took
I'm not happy with the way we played in the first half of the game, but we took control and got a number of scoring opportunities.
against dominate guys hide maybe nice past people specific sure
It's nice if we don't have to hide Christian, just play him against specific people or make sure he doesn't go out against guys in the past that maybe he was intimidated to play against or who would plain-old dominate him. I don't feel that way anymore.
caused cheat maybe neutral rarely talked
It's something we actually talked about with the linesman. They cheat on every face-off, and they killed us the other night. I don't know, maybe having said that caused them (the referees to make the call). But it is a penalty. You rarely ever see that one called in the neutral zone.
amongst common hard light net red score wants
Each one of them wants to score so bad, they go to the net hard and they live to see the red light go on. That's what's common amongst them all.
along gets
Everyone gets along very well, even the new girls. We try to keep it where everyone is very close.
bit gives grasped group guys head hopefully impressive played rules start understood
Most impressive to me about the group is how they've grasped the rules and played disciplined. Hopefully that gives us a bit of a head start that our guys have understood what the rules are right off the bat.
believe care focused good gotten illusion players process team truly understand winning
You just never know what a preseason means. Is it an illusion or reality? I truly believe we're a good team and I think if we've gotten anything out of the preseason, it's the process you go about, and winning will take care of itself. Our players understand that and they're focused on doing things right.
