easier good sneak
It could be a good thing. We could sneak up on some teams. It's easier going as the underdogs.
penalties took
Obviously, we took way too many penalties tonight.
fast fun game high period running tempo
I think the first period had a really high tempo and fast pace, then we started running around a little bit. It was a fun game to play in, but it just didn't go in our favor.
guess line
I guess we're kind of teetering on that line right now.
cheering expect guy handling keeps loose team tough ultimate
He's the ultimate team guy. When he's not playing, he's the first guy cheering for us on the bench. What you kind of expect to do something and you don't get to do it, it's tough for you. He's been handling it great. He's a loose guy and he keeps you loose.
depending ready
I feel better today. I think I'm ready to go, depending on how I feel in the morning.
everybody page stay together tough
Not so much a spark. But to get everybody back on the same page that they used to be. I think everybody is on a different page. It's a long season. It's tough for everybody to stay together all season.
christmas good hard matter night playing points
I'm out there playing hard for them every night no matter what. It's good to get two points before Christmas.
doubt five games last mind playoff time
There's no doubt in here at all that come playoff time we are going to be fine. We have to put these last four, five games out of our mind and out of our psyche.
win
It was a must win for us. We really wanted it bad. We really didn't play like it.
beat defensive offensive trap trouble worked
I thought we worked pretty well together. We never really got into too much trouble in the defensive zone, we were able to beat the trap pretty well and, in the offensive zone, we were able to do a lot of damage.
finally great half paid period periods played second work
This was huge. We didn't quit. We didn't sulk. We played great in the second half of the first period, and the second period was great. In the third, the work of the first two periods finally paid off.
good held skilled team test tonight
Tonight was a good test for us. They're a great, offensively skilled team and we held them for most of the game.
definitely easier execute game guys plan practicing purpose seems shooting systems year
This year we're definitely practicing a lot more. We see drills that we're doing for a purpose, not just shooting and passing. (In the past), the guys didn't know what the systems were or what was going on. Now it seems like we're focused. It makes it easier for us on the ice, to have a game plan and to try and go out and execute it.
