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).
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.
bought emphasize players playing precedent sets top younger
I'm very impressed. I can't emphasize enough that the top players bought into the system. Obviously, they're playing hard, obviously, they're playing well. And that sets the precedent for the younger kids.
best excuse goes injuries means opportunity played players team
It's a loss, no doubt. Shawn had been one of our best players of late. But every team goes through injuries and it won't be an excuse for us. Shawn played a lot, so this means opportunity for other players.
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.
needed penalty save
I thought our penalty kill was a little better tonight. And that, coupled with Snowy making the big save when he needed to. was the difference.
center chipping deep good supposed teams
We got away from the little things. Chipping when you're supposed to, getting to center ice, we don't get it in deep like we're supposed to. The little things that good teams do, we didn't do.
complete forward good jason knows news support thoughts
Our thoughts are with Jason tonight. He knows he has the complete support of his team. We look forward to getting him back, but that's for another day. The good news is that he's going to be OK.
excited surprised
I think he was excited to be back. No, I'm not surprised he did what he did.
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.
appears bullied complaints-and-complaining habit taking
It appears he was in the habit of taking things from his mother, and he bullied her into not complaining.
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.
came helps period quick resilient start takes third wind
The quick start helps us. It takes the wind out of their sails. ... But I like the way we were resilient after two (periods) when it was 3-2. I like that we came out in the third period and put it away.
couple
You'd like to have a couple of those a year. You don't usually get any of those at this level.
