change figure good half month plays power teams three weeks year
It's been one of those years. A lot of good teams this year that did well, their power plays are pretty steady. We, for some reason, go two or three weeks where we can do no wrong, and then we go a month or a month and a half where it's just a battle. We got to figure it out. We have the personnel. If I have the answer, I'd think we'd change things.
demons far period third
It's far from done, but we got some things accomplished (in Ottawa). We exorcised some demons in the third period (Sunday) in that building.
far
It's far from done, but we did get something accomplished.
bounce good loss regroup result worst
It was probably the worst loss of the season. Not just the result but the way we played, we were undisciplined. It was good to regroup and bounce back.
both front looking practice pressure skated sure teams today
They are very aggressive. Teams are going to know that I play back there, I'm sure they'll put more pressure on me. Today at practice I skated up front so I think we're looking to take a little pressure off that situation. But I'm comfortable in both spots.
build came early goal good hard looking power ready saw
They came at us pretty hard and it was a good pace, and you could tell they were ready to play the game. They get the early power play and you're looking to kill it off. To get a goal was a boost, and you saw us build on that to get a 4-1 lead.
handled jay needed outside people stayed steady
It's been unbelievable how Jay has handled this summer. There were not a whole lot of people outside the organization that thought he could get it all done. But he stayed steady and got done what he needed to do.
against beat bitterness canadian country except gold good level mean played pride teams win
There are a lot of good teams there and just because you put on a Canadian jersey, it doesn't mean you're going to win. But that's the pride our country has. Those are the expectations and there's bitterness when you don't get it done. There's nothing else we wanted to do except win the gold medal. And a lot of countries, they just want to beat Canada. They played at a whole new level against us.
beat excuses head high lost ok playing playoffs pushing question
There are no excuses not to win, this is the playoffs for us. You don't ever want to say it was OK when we lost the game, but I'm not going to beat myself up or question how we've been playing of late. We're going to keep our head high and keep pushing the way we've been going of late.
good third tie win
We're good enough to win anywhere. We had a 2-2 tie in the third and we didn't get it done.
atlanta closest control florida outside playing playoff teams three twice
We can control our own destiny, especially playing Atlanta twice more and Florida three more times, those teams are the closest to us outside a playoff spot.
anybody compete confident fine
We're fine with our team. We're very confident we can compete with anybody any night. I think we're a better team, we're more experienced.
fancy trying win words
We're just not doing enough right now. We're not trying to win games, we're just hoping. You can use a lot of fancy words but there's no other way to put it.
asked happy pick
We're just happy to be in. You don't want to be asked to pick your poison.
