dice great group philosophy players secured
It's terrific, it's great for this group of players and for the organization that rolled the dice with this philosophy. There's a sense of accomplishment that we've secured a spot.
affect critical deception game good outlet people poise spend time transition
It may affect our transition game. He's got really good poise with the puck, he's got good deception where he can look people off and then make the appropriate little outlet pass. Those are real critical to our transition game and how much time we spend in our own end.
calling
It's kind of lingering. We keep calling it day-to-day but it hasn't been.
It was more for effect, a little acting.
might
It was not pretty. That might be the understatement of the year.
both good
It was a good goaltender battle. Both goalies made exceptional saves.
chosen circle explain few games last stake time
It's time to circle the wagons and explain to everyone we must be better. I'm disappointed in what we have chosen to do here in the last few games and I don't like that. There's a lot at stake here.
help players team
I want to be the team we were before the (Olympic) break. Additions or not, I want us to be that team. If we're that team, then these two players really help us a lot. If not, then they'll struggle.

It (this season) is a good springboard here, but it doesn't mean we'll have the same success -- it doesn't mean we'll have the same team. We could be younger, quite honestly.
It (the injury) is uncomfortable enough where it would be day-to-day. He's a little uncomfortable and there's pain.
complete good hurt played power
You know, our power play really hurt us (by going 0-for-9 Wednesday) night, but other than that, I thought we played a pretty good game. Tonight, I thought we played a more complete game.
chosen deal kevin nature pick reasons sorts year
You can pick all sorts of reasons out why we're doing all right this year and I can tell you Kevin Weekes has really contributed to that whole thing by the nature of how he's chosen to deal with the situation.
