explain seems seen series turn
I've never seen a series like this. Nothing seems to turn out the way you think it should, and you can't explain why.
beat bit few fill good guys intend key last lost maybe missing players season spots
We've lost a few key guys but there's some good young players in our organization that will fill those spots and we intend on not missing a beat from the last season and maybe getting even a little bit better.
blame certainly full middle quite safe trying work
I was trying to get it out of the middle -- safe play. Didn't quite work out that way. It was certainly my mistake. I'll take full blame for it.
affects definitely everybody guy opens
It definitely opens up a lot of things that you don't think about before you have a guy like Joe. It affects everybody out there.
days focus last three
I don't know why that is. We focus on that and in the last little while we've had three days between games. We just haven't come out the way we'd like to.
hand later quite recoil saw tongue trying
I didn't really see the goal. I was trying to recoil my tongue from a two-minute penalty-kill, and then I saw Bernie put his hand up. I was told later that it was quite the move.

Obviously it was a set play and we didn't react to it well enough.
bring closer decent guys hear issues kept maybe playoff problems run season team wake work
Maybe we should hear that in our meetings. Maybe that'll wake us up. They have guys who work hard. They're a decent team that's run into some problems that have kept them from being closer to the playoff race, but we've had issues with them all season long. We have to bring our better game.
job maybe
Maybe it will be ugly, but we need to get the job done.
along dump forcing giving maybe puck simple support worst
Maybe but we've set it up in a simple way that we dump the puck in and support each other very closely, so even if you are forcing it a little bit, at worst you're just kind of giving it up along the wall.
bad good mentality move next playoff push rug whether
We've had the playoff mentality for a while now where it's you've got to push it under the rug whether it's good or bad and move on to the next game.
early start thinking
It's not too early to start thinking that way.
forced hit pad pass talented
It was a bang-bang play. I thought it was going to the point. It hit a shin pad kind of in the middle. I think that we went and forced the pass from Lang. They're talented players, they find those passes.
gets guys members player somebody teams
Where it gets really complicated is some player reps are on different teams now and some aren't even playing. Some executive-committee members have retired. So who gets a vote? Who still has a say in the matter? Without those guys in there, should somebody be promoted?
