box course fire game penalty
Of course it's not the way you want to start. It was embarrassing. If this game doesn't fire us up, I don't know what will. Obviously, we know what went wrong. We went to the penalty box too much.
happened mad question
There's no question it was an unbelievably frustrating game. We really have to be mad about what happened here today. It's not how you want to start. It's embarrassing.
reason
There's no reason why he can't put up big numbers,
anybody excited great guy ready seen signing skated
I skated with him for a bit. What I've seen this summer, he's ready to go. He's just as excited as anybody else. I think there's no question, he's still a go-to guy and I think that was a great signing by Nashville.
inches
It was the right call. Just inches away; what can you do?
atmosphere behind build effort games gives great madison puck row special square teams ways work
The work effort was a lot better tonight. It's frustrating when the puck doesn't go in. But once again, our special teams let us down. That's two games in a row and that's two losses. It's frustrating sure, but it gives us something to build on. It'll be a great atmosphere at Madison Square Garden. Sure, we're behind the 8-ball a little bit, but there's still a ways to go.
period question third
No question the third period could've been a lot better.
caught chance easy fast good mind power question tough
Five-on-five is just as tough - there's no question in my mind that it's all the power play. It's such a fast game, it's easy to get caught out of position. There's still a good chance you're going to have to take a lot of these penalties.
score since
They are frustrating and demoralizing to give up, especially since we didn't score any 5-on-5 goals.
came definitely game good job managing power quality running sloppy
We did not do a good job in managing their pressure. There was a lot of running around and too many quality chances. Definitely the most sloppy game in this stretch, but fortunately, the power play came up big for us.
considered full good guys last moving poised seem seen sitting teams throats
There are a lot of good teams out there, and if we want to be considered one of them, we have to show up to play for a full 60 minutes. From what I've seen the last two games, teams are sitting back, but our team is not poised enough with the puck. We seem to be ramming it down our own throats and moving it where they have their guys positioned.
best care guy lose players team
He's one of the best players in the world. I don't care what team it is in the league, you lose a guy like that it's going to be difficult.
bench bit bounce came coming fortunate late
I came off the bench with a little bit of a late change. It was a fortunate bounce but if I wasn't coming off the bench I probably would've been a lot lower.
best bigger character charge goal highlight shows
I don't think there's any bigger goal than that one right there, up to this point. It was another highlight reel by our best player. And it just kind of shows the kind of character he has to just take charge like that.
