breaks couple early joe might pipe provided shot time
I think that first shot that Joe clanked off the pipe might have shaken them up a little bit. He provided a spark, but for the first time in a while we got a couple of breaks early in the game.
angles bad league learn looking net pass position puck rink scramble throw
A lot of times with the width of the rink you have bad angles ... you're always looking to pass the puck because you think somebody's going to be in a better position (to shoot). It's a better play in our league to throw it at the net and scramble things up. That's something he'll learn with a little more experience.
longer people second seen teams tooth weary
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.
penalties
You're not going to take many penalties when you have the puck.
blue ground guys line stand
He's got no fear. He'll stand his ground at the blue line all day. We need more guys like that.
charge good hard people point somebody stick time willing
He's going to play a lot more on the point because we need somebody back there who is willing to take charge and make hard plays, hard snappy passes. And I thought he did a really good job. It's going to take time to get other people comfortable in the other positions, but I'm going to stick with it.
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.
none players prove respect
None of our players want to go out there and prove anything to Darryl. They have a lot of respect for him.
goals
He's going to be a 35-40 goals scorer.
bumped continues fine issues movements sharp traffic
Physically, he's fine right now and his movements are sharp and crisp, but again, getting bumped into or the traffic issues continues to be a distraction for him.
address camp confront figure full fun happened head issues microscope move patience sand stick time training winning wrong year
You have to confront the things that happened the year before. To stick your head in the sand is the wrong approach. We need to figure out what went wrong and why it went wrong, then address those issues and move on. It's been fun for me to have a full training camp and to have some time and patience in the preseason without being under the microscope of winning and losing.
carried everybody finish focused game goal good hardest high job moment next run table
We're in pretty good shape. We want to finish as high as we can. Our goal is to run the table here. The hardest game is always the next one that you play. My job is to keep everybody focused and in the moment and not get too carried away with ourselves.
crowded high known point school
We desperately need the space. Our high school, especially, is severely crowded at this point and has been for years. We've known this for a long time.
almost happen kick needed third
We needed a kick in the pants. When you?re going like that, almost a third of the way into the season, something has to happen, and it has to happen quick.
