finally last skaters totally
We finally had 18 skaters totally committed. The last two games, I couldn't say that.
certainly four great helped last minutes three turn
That certainly helped turn things around, we had a great last three or four minutes in the period.
last seems sure wish
I wish it wasn't like this, but it sure seems like it's going to come down to the last game.
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.
giving goals last offense third three
I didn't like the way we were giving up goals in the third period. We need to show more poise, but our offense was there as it has been for the last three games.
beat complete effort five guys last looked move next opposite six team throw tonight
This was the opposite of the last game. They had five guys missing, and tonight it looked like we did, too. Five or six guys missing. You need a complete team effort to beat a team like Detroit, especially here, and we didn't get it. So we'll just throw it away and move on the next one.
distance ended goal last score shoot
I never would have thought he'd score the last goal from that distance with the goalie set. You're thinking, 'OK, just shoot it' and the goalie whiffed on it. That ended up being the difference.
break certainly five games great last potential signs six work
It's kind of like a mustang or stallion that you have to break -- you see all this potential but it's kind of wild. I think he is still a work in progress, but he's certainly showed a lot of great signs the last five or six games he's played.
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.
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.
bump bury dominated game hit minutes move talked
We dominated the game for 35 minutes and we should have been up 4-, 5-, or 6-0. We talked before the game if we hit a bump in the road, we'd just bury it and move on.
bounce handed happens points puck stick stuff
We handed two points away. That's a shame. We had the puck on our stick and didn't get the puck out of our zone. When stuff like that happens at this point of the season, it's inexcusable. But we'll bounce back.
game goal next run table toughest
Our goal is to run the table here. The toughest game is always the next one you're going to play.
bail call constantly game kept slow
Our goalie kept us in the game early. We started out a little slow in the first period, but once we got our legs, we were OK. It's a wake-up call when your goalie has to constantly bail you out.
