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.
casual pay
We were casual and they made us pay for it.
asked came chiefs cornered department ended fact including learning might paid state storm volunteer
He never came around much when I came to Storm Lake. Then I cornered him one day and asked him to. I ended up learning a lot from Harold, including the fact he might have been one of the first paid chiefs at a volunteer department in the state of Iowa.
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.
chance guys hopefully learned lesson puck shoot shows
It shows you to just shoot the puck. And the lesson learned hopefully for a lot of our guys is just shoot the puck and you have a chance to score. If you don't, you're not going to score.
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.
