bring game good greener help offensive practice supposed touch veteran week
Greener is a veteran who is supposed to bring an offensive touch to the game. I thought he was all right in the first game but just so-so in the second. He had a long layover and it showed. Hopefully, a good week of practice here should help him.
continue feeling good guys themselves
We've got some guys who aren't here and they've got some guys who aren't here who will be in the playoffs. I just want us to continue to play well. The guys are feeling good about themselves right now.
believe chances games offensive past shown team zero
We generated zero chances in the first. Nothing. I believe we've got a better offensive team than we've shown the past two games here.
ask doubt expected game generate goes good lead lost third tough win
Without a doubt we expected to win that game. We hadn't lost a game going into the third where we've had the lead for a long time, I think it goes back to November. I don't know why we weren't as good in the third. It's tough to say, you'd have to ask the players. Mentally, we weren't as sharp. I don't know if they wanted it more than we did or if we were tired. We didn't generate anything offensively in the third at all. I don't think we had a (scoring) chance.
guy happened paid research
That's what happened there. The guy didn't do (his research), and he paid the price.
couple good grinding guys ice lines offensive
I don't see this as any different from any other time. We've got two good offensive lines, a couple grinding lines and guys on D who are going to get a lot of ice time.
against difference flats good league max net playing puck teams top wants
If he wants to play in the NHL against good teams, now he's playing against one of the top teams in the American League and he's got to find away to make a difference in the game. The only difference I see is that Max doesn't play the puck as much around his net as Flats (Wade Flaherty).
