eight jumping miles treadmill
It's like jumping on a treadmill when it's going eight miles an hour. When he got off, it was going at three.
against almost body guys high inhibit level man plays puck rules size skill strength takes unit
They use the new rules as well as any unit that you play against in this league. Their skill is so high and their body position, with Jagr, himself, he's a big man and when he has the puck it takes almost a man the same size and strength level to get it off because the rules inhibit the plays you used to be able to use on guys like that.
couple great lately line lost momentum regain turned
What they've done for us lately is when we've had a couple of shifts where we haven't done things well and lost momentum, they've been a great line to regain that momentum or at least get it turned around. You know what you're going to get for the most part every shift.
bar driving few five focus habit hard net percent practice raise sort speed
I just thought they were kind of sleep-walking through the first five or 10 minutes. There were a few things we really wanted to focus on. One of them was driving the net and it's hard to do when someone's going 75 or 85 percent speed effort. I want to make it a habit to practice that way and sort of raise the bar a little bit in that area.
challenge coming great heard
I heard Forsberg's coming back. They've been decimated with injuries. It's another great challenge for us.
bench builder couple heard momentum season
I heard a couple of 'Oh, nos' on the bench the way the season has gone. So that was a big momentum builder for us.
good hockey played quite rewarded second team
In the second period, it was pretty good for us. We probably played as well as we can as a hockey team and didn't get rewarded quite as much as we thought.
building chance fed gain lost momentum penalty relax settle success switch tough
If you don't have success early, sometimes the momentum can switch over to the penalty killers in a hurry. And they fed off that and the building fed off that. I thought it was tough for us to settle down and relax ... It was a chance to gain momentum and we lost that chance.
areas commitment desire hard helped maybe scoring skated
I don't know if we skated through some of the scoring areas as hard as we could have. I think a little more commitment and a little more desire around the net, a little more urgency, maybe would have helped us tonight.
chances gave hard ready success work
I didn't think we were ready to play. We got away from things that gave us success the other night. We gave up chances that they didn't have to work very hard for.
gave guys handful played
This roller-coaster thing doesn't work. We had only a handful of guys who played to expectations and gave to the team.
miss
To tell you the truth, I'm going to kind of miss them.
bad left pairs putting team together trying
Without Zhitnik in there it left a hole. We were kind of putting pairs together and trying to see what worked. It's a bad team to be trying to do that against.
few heat next puts ready
We need to be ready to play. (This loss) puts a lot of heat on us over the next few games.
