case chances goals guys injuries less line messed scoring stick
We're not getting any less scoring chances than when we were scoring 3.5 goals a game. We've had some injuries that have messed up the line combinations, but that is not an excuse. I think now sometimes it's a case of the guys squeezing on the stick a little too tight.
excuse game mental slip
We had some mental collapses in the third. There's no excuse for that. We let a game slip by.
forget remember time
We're going to forget about this one, but at the same time we're going to remember it.
center extremely gets gravity hits knees loves low physical strong
When he gets going, he?s extremely powerful. He loves physical contact. He?s strong on his feet, has a low center of gravity and accelerates into hits with his knees bent.
face fans forget forum front given open people personally rings slap taken team treatment trying walk
I don't think we'll ever forget the treatment the NHL has given our team in trying not to let this happen. It was a joke. I think it's a slap in the face the NHL has given our fans because they should've been involved. This should have been at the Forum in front of 22,000 people as we walk up and get the rings and open it up and show the fans. I personally feel the NHL has taken some of that away from us.

allow choices coming eyes fresh hopefully knowing pair select start terms voice
He's coming into this knowing he'll be a fresh voice and pair of eyes in evaluations. I think he's going to be able to start from scratch, in terms of evaluations of goaltenders. Hopefully he'll allow us to make the right choices and select a starter.
carry catch game goal good momentum playing reason seemed since situation sort trying
For some sort of reason, they scored their first goal and right after that they seemed to get a lot of momentum off of that and carry the play. Ever since then we were trying to play catch up and it's not a good situation when you are playing catch up in a game like that.
Those two (saves) he made in OT were unbelievable.
hockey points start win
This was the start of our playoffs. We need to win hockey games. We need to put points on the board.
finish high matter seen signs takes
We want to finish as high as we can no matter what. I have seen no signs that they are going to quit, and they know what it takes to compete.
carefully dialogue initiate needs
to initiate the dialogue ... it needs to be crystallized and much more carefully examined.
power
You get a power play and you think, 'We get one here, the door's shut. But the way things are going for us, we will take the two points.
determined lose rather
You'd rather lose 6-1 or 6-2; that way you're embarrassed and you want to come back. If you lose 3-2 or 4-2, you're not as determined to come back.
