allowed beside easily guys illegal known list night people player playing radar sign sit speeding sticks
It's not like one player out of 600 is playing with an illegal stick. The list of guys playing with illegal sticks is pretty known around the league. It's like speeding on the road. You're not allowed to speed, but sit beside the 55-mph sign on I-85 at night and put your radar on it. Many people will easily go over.
bunch deserve obviously past people resilient situation tough turn
In the past years, this organization has been slapped more than we deserve it seems. But I think we're a pretty resilient organization. We showed people before that we can turn around and go through tough times as a bunch of pros. This is obviously another situation where we will have to adjust.
arm easy guys period playing second sitting soon split stick talk transition video watch
We had some guys that were playing their first game. There's a transition period and we just have to get used to the new application. You have to think out there because as soon as you get your stick up or get your arm out you're going to be sitting in the (penalty) box. It's easy to talk about and it's easy to watch it on video but once you're on the ice, you only get a split second to think about it.
basically force games less people settle situation three wins
We need three more wins. There's no way we can settle for less than this. With three more wins we're going to force other people to win their games and basically that's a situation we want to be in.
chances couple decisions face felt game good key moments positive power saw situations step tough
I think it's a very positive first step. He had some real good chances on the power play. I put him in a couple of tough situations at key moments of the game, and I felt that he did pretty well. But let's face it, this is step one. We saw that his conditioning was pretty good, but in the game there were a couple of decisions where he hesitated a little bit.
best happening lost
The best thing that is happening to us is that we have a day off. We have kind of lost our game.
pat
I'm going to say that Pat Quinn can say what he wants. I don't care.
reverse second
It was like a photocopy (of the second period), just reverse it.
chances couple good towards
It was a good game. Their power-play made the difference. Towards the end we got a couple of good chances but we couldn't get the equalizer.
carried final game power shot
It was a game where we carried the play and they carried the play for a while. It was a big game and unfortunately, they got the final shot (on power play) and we didn't. It's just sad.
games hope lose obviously start stay teams winning
It's tough, because if you lose, you obviously lose ground, and if you win, you stay there. We just have to keep winning games and hope teams start getting in trouble.
entire hope learn matter respect showing
It's a matter of showing respect to the entire team, the organization and the fans. I hope he'll learn from this.
generate matter penalties percentage playing plays power year
It's a matter of playing our game. Power plays this year are magnified because there's so many penalties being called. In all the games, you're going to get some power plays if you skate. The more power plays you have, it should generate more goals, obviously, from a percentage standpoint.
balanced best building certainly four leave plus team tough weaknesses win
That's a team that is one of the best when it comes to four balanced lines. There's no weaknesses and they are tough to play. So to leave this building with a win is certainly a big plus for us.
