effort good great hockey playing push skating
Right now we are playing good hockey and making a push for the playoffs. I thought the effort was great and we are skating very well.
effort focus lost period second
I thought the effort was good. I think we lost our focus in the second period when we could of put the Flyers away.
effort sure
He handles it well, but to give him a five-goal cushion, I'm sure he appreciates the effort from the boys.
andy couple dirty fights finish honest looks occurred player players seconds since tried worse
Andy Sutton is not a dirty player by any means. I think he's a very honest player and he just tried to finish his check. It's unfortunate and you never like to see players get injured. But it was one of those things. I think since it occurred just a couple of seconds after all those fights it looks way worse than what it is.
league lots unknowns
Right now, there's lots of unknowns and speculation. Let's let the league do their stuff.
cost goal hurts plays power score winning

Boom Boom was an incredible man who meant a great deal to me and I'm fortunate to have called him a friend and mentor. I'm sincerely honored to be a part of the same coaching fraternity and to follow his lead as an NHL Head Coach in Atlanta.

Even though they've pretty much dominated us in the first three games, the good news is we're still right there with them.

Toward the end, we got a couple of good chances, but we couldn't get the equalizer. He came up with some good saves. There was not much room out there.
obviously
There's going to be a lot of 5-on-4s and 5-on-3s because obviously the referees want to make a statement. It makes for some interesting hockey.
advantage basically buffalo confident cost couple easy game plays
There's never an easy loss, but I thought we started the game like we wanted to start. Unfortunately a couple of plays cost us the game. Buffalo is very confident right now and they take advantage of basically every one of their chances.
ended four guys puck room
There's no way Jagr should get that kind of room in the slot. We actually had four guys back. It was a three-on-four, but we just didn't communicate and the puck ended up in our net.
chance giving special teams
You always have a chance when your special teams are on the job, especially on the road, and your goalie is giving you big saves.
