games guys pulling results speaks team winning
What they've done speaks for itself. They're a team with 18 guys pulling the same way. The results are pretty evident; they're winning a lot more games than they're losing.
anybody attitude bees career fun heavier last player pounds rink says situation stands symbolic team year
He's symbolic of what our team stands for. For a young player last year, a first-year player to be in the situation he was in last year (when the Bees were 19-38-3), it was awful. It wasn't fun to play hockey. It wasn't fun for anybody to go to the rink last year. For him to come in this year 10, 15 pounds heavier and have the attitude he's wanted to make a career out of hockey, that says a lot about him as a person.
bigger games guys played sharp specialty teams won
These two games were probably a lot bigger than even the guys realize. These were pretty big games. I don't think we played as well as we can play, but we did what we had to do to win. I thought our goaltending was very sharp when it had to be, and our specialty teams won (Saturday's) game for us.
game goal goals last loss minute mistakes played team third toughest turning
That's the toughest loss I've ever had. I'm kind of dumbfounded considering they're the team that played last night. You get a goal a minute into the third and they're doing it their way and they're losing. It's not everybody, but when we play our game plan, we're successful. We're making mistakes on little things that are turning around for goals for them.
best matter playing playoff point team worst
Right now, every game's a big game. It doesn't matter who you're playing. When you're in a playoff race, it doesn't matter if you're playing the best team or the worst team. Every point counts.
hockey lines simple three wheel
We're not reinventing the wheel of hockey here. It's just simple things, and we did that here tonight. We do that, we can come at you with three lines and keep going and going.
head playoff ready time
We're in a playoff race. There's no time to put your head down and pout. We've got to get ready to get back at it (today).
battle behind good lie small step toward
We're still behind the 8-ball. This is a small step toward where we want to go. It was good to see that it's going to be a long series. We're going to battle and we're not going to lie down.
bed best excited great ready rink
We've got to go to bed ready to get up and play. When we get to the rink, it's the same thing. Get there, get ready to go out and have fun. It's a great place to go play. It's the best rink in the league. We should be excited to get out there and play.
basically building game home
You basically look at we have a Game 7 in our home building (tonight).
guys learning lesson stick win
Tonight, I think that was as important a learning lesson as well as a win to show the guys here that if they stick with it, what they can accomplish.
bother good held power
We've held them on their power play, too. We've got good chances. I can't say that our power play didn't get good chances. It did. The power play doesn't really bother me.
bench looked net
On the bench it looked like the net moved. But you can't really see from the bench.
next nine
These next nine or 10 days, we're going to find out what we're made of.
