absolutely bought effort emphasize fade nights players playing precedent sets top
I can't emphasize enough that their top players bought into the system, they're working hard, playing well and that sets the precedent for the young kids. No, absolutely not. I think there's nights we do. For the most part, the effort has been there for us. But when we get in trouble, we fade away.
goal hit mouth scoring team
It's flat-out wrong. He has to take the penalty, take his medicine, keep his mouth shut, and take it out on the other team by scoring a goal or making a big hit - legally.
afford ice penalty took
He took a penalty and I couldn't afford to put him on the ice again, and have him take another one.
anybody brain coverage grunt people takes willing
Defensive-zone coverage is not brain surgery. Anybody can do it, if you have a will. It takes very little talent. At times, there's not enough people willing to do the grunt work.
anyone fun goes good guy initial news
The initial news was positive. But it's never a good thing when a guy goes in like that and doesn't move. . . . It couldn't have been fun for anyone to see him go down.
great news player present
It's great news that Ricky's in the fold. He is a very important player for our franchise's present and future.

He went down awkwardly, and took a knee to the head. Everything just happened all at once.
bad dumb finally gave good last played score snow takes teams took worried
I think Snow played a good game. I thought he gave us a chance. We let him down. That's the last person I'm worried about. We took lazy, dumb non-hard working penalties. It only takes one bad clear, one play. Good teams finally score on you. That's what happened.
against comforting coming game good great ottawa
I think it'll be a great challenge. And it's a whole lot more comforting to go into the game against Ottawa coming off a pretty good game.
pick player smart
He is not flashy; he does all the things a smart player does. If I had to pick one player, I'd say it was him (that was most impressive).
carry load miss playing ricky until
He was playing pretty well and was going to carry the load until Ricky got back. And he's been one of the leaders, has been from day one this year, on and off the ice. We'll miss that.
control lose
But there was no need for him to lose control in this situation.
