couple few involved job months net reason spent taking wide
He's been shying away from taking pucks, going wide and taking to the net and he did that a few times tonight. For some reason he spent most of the first couple months not being involved and being on the outside. To his credit, he got the job done tonight.
clicking job power worked
They worked really hard. It was a battle. Fortunately, our power play was clicking and we got the job done.
believe certain experience fear guys job maybe mistake putting tells veteran yeah
As long as you can get the job done and you let those guys know you believe in them by putting them in certain situations, yeah they're going to make a mistake every once in a while. My experience tells me the veteran guy will make mistakes, or maybe won't even try to do something for fear of making a mistake, that's what I like about the young players.
momentum start
There's no momentum from two years ago. There's no carry-over. We had to start from scratch.
dominant game last player points puck side spread time top
He was on top of his game in all five. Last season, if you look, he had a lot of points but he had them in 3-4 games. This time it's been spread out and he's been a dominant player just about every shift. He's on the right side of the puck all the time.
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.
excited fault minutes needs patty playing point power
I wanted to get Patty a little more involved. I think he got excited to see he'd be on the point on the power play. He needs to be playing around 20 minutes a game. It was my fault he didn't play more the other night.
fearing man people though totally
People are fearing him now, and that's what you want to see with Joe. He's a man on a mission. . . . Even though he's not getting points, he's totally controlling the game.
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.
buzz locker team
There's a buzz around our team in the locker room.
excitement exciting generally guys happy pace struggle
You're always going to struggle because of the excitement of the first day, but I was generally happy with the pace of our practice. It's exciting to be working with all these guys again.
series special teams
Special teams in this series will be big.
business definite desert growth high reflection secret
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.
