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.
advantage chance draw energy good penalties period power pushed talked third
In the third period of back-to-back games, I don't know if they really had the energy to take advantage of the power play. We talked about if we pushed the pace, there's a good chance we'll draw penalties tonight.
period power third
The one that killed us was in the third period -- 3-2 game, we get a power play and I don't know if we even got a shot. If we did it was a bad-angle shot. That could have made a difference.
battle corner couple goal however mistakes moments simple third turning whether
They're simple mistakes to correct, however inexcusable to make because they're simple positioning failures. And a couple times you lose, whether it's a battle in the corner or on the third goal a giveaway, moments like that at the end you look back as being the turning point.
basically cynic goals grind joe might pass playing score third truth work
A cynic might say he's profiting from playing with Joe Thornton, and there's some truth to that, but he did score 28 goals without a pass from Joe Thornton two years ago. And he basically was playing on a grind line, a third line, doing a lot of the work himself.
casual gave gotten pay puck second talked third
It was a play where we could have gotten the puck and we didn't. We were casual and they made us pay for it. We talked about that between the second and the third periods. We just gave them life.
energy looked maintained ours third
It looked like we did not have much energy tonight. (Phoenix) maintained their energy while ours pretty much was sapped by the third period.
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.
