came key mike saves strong time
Mike Dunham had a real strong game. He came up with some key saves at the a very important time of the game.
great points running time
Time is running out. We don't have any points to give to anyone. We will need some great performances from everyone.
focus settling time winning
Our focus is on winning that game. We have no time for that. It's all about winning our games, not about settling any scores.
finish goes guys line marathon playoffs talent teams time wait year
This is the time of year you wait for, and we're right there. Guys who have never been in the playoffs before will feel that pressure. We're approaching the finish line of an 82-game season. It now goes from a marathon to a sprint, and when you're bunched up with other teams like we are, it's not talent that will get you there, but commitment.
bit both doctors good guys hopefully loose moving players puck seemed time towards
He seemed to me moving a little bit towards the end so hopefully that is a good sign. He was going for a loose puck and both guys collided. They didn't have much time to react. You never like to see any players go down. The doctors were in there very quickly.
collect confidence dues felt good kid looked paid time worker
He looked like an NHL goalie. He felt very comfortable. Right now his confidence should be at the top. He's a good worker and a good kid and he's paid his dues in the organization, so the time has come for him to collect the reward.
adversity changed chemistry either goes happen people rather time wrong
I really think that we changed the chemistry of the team. Sometimes it goes either way. For us it went the wrong way. You know what, I'd rather see this happen at this time of the year. Adversity makes people better.
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.
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.
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
Power plays cost us the game. If you don't score it's one thing. But if you give up the winning goal on your power play, that's where it hurts the most.
looking
We went so long looking for the NHL goalie we were expecting. Now we have him.
boom coaching deal follow fortunate fraternity friend great head honored incredible lead man meant sincerely
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.
dominated good news though three
Even though they've pretty much dominated us in the first three games, the good news is we're still right there with them.
