adversity face stuff
We responded to adversity and that's important because we're going to face this kind of stuff when we're on the road.
bit discipline expect hard kept lost period power teams third whenever
Whenever we play L.A., we look at their stats and they're one of the most penalized teams in the league. They play hard all the time, right on the edge. So you've got to expect to get power plays. We lost a little bit of our discipline in the third period and had to kill some too, but in the first two periods, we kept on task.
both guard maybe wire
We actually got right down to the wire on both kills. I think maybe we let our guard down a little bit.
certainly coaching couple days extra gives help information prepare takes time together
The extra couple of days certainly help the coaching staff. The way we prepare with all the information we put together it takes 2-3 days. This gives us enough time to be prepared.
ahead bit control feeling games gotten knowing somewhere totally work
We've still got a lot of work ahead of us, but we're going into games now feeling a little bit different knowing we've gotten somewhere and we're totally in control of our own destiny.
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.
deserved second
We deserved what we got in the second period.
goals happen hoping picked since trade
We're 3-0 and scored 15 goals since we picked up Thornton. It's kind of nice, the things you were hoping would happen with the trade have.
air close fate game seemed tires
We didn't want to tempt fate and have a close game because we thought they would come at us. We seemed to have a lot more jump, more air in our tires than they did.
avoid clicking found job ourselves power start talked tonight
We didn't want to start with a 2-0 hole, and we talked about how to avoid that, but we found ourselves in that position. Fortunately, our power play was clicking tonight and got the job done.
casual pay
We were casual and they made us pay for it.
awful bad execute four good guys open
We made an awful play up the ice. It was a bad pass. You know they have four guys on the ice, we have five. You should be able to find someone open and execute a good pass, and we didn't.
dig energy simple urgency
We're just going to have to dig down and find the energy and play with a sense of urgency that we need. It's as simple as that.
five game potent power score six stay
We've got, I think, a very potent power play. All indications are it (the calls) should stay the same -- and we'll get five or six opportunities a game and we're going to have to score at least one.
