dangerous hockey line mesh speed together type
That's a lot of skill, a lot of speed and a lot of hockey smarts all on one line. They mesh pretty well together and they're the type of line that should be dangerous every night.
eyes opened
Around the league, we've opened some eyes with what we've done.
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.
body front hard seen shooting stick team ton worked
They worked to get into those shooting lanes, they worked to get a body part or a stick in front of the shots. It's how they've had success. They have a ton of skill, but they also work as hard as any team we've seen this year.
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.
motivate role
I don't think he ever showed what he can do on the ice. Part of that is our fault. We didn't put him into the right role and motivate him the right way to get him to play his best. That's the frustrating part.
heads opponent outset screwed treat
I don't think from the outset that we had our heads screwed on straight. I thought we didn't treat the opponent with enough respect. . . . It was just a disappointing effort.
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.
second timing took wind
(The goal) at the end of the second really took a lot of wind out of the sails. The timing of it was really tough.
goal good hurt key period second teams
The goal at the end of the second period really hurt us. Good teams get things done at key times in the game.
