doubt fast game goals handle score speed surprised took
I think he was surprised at how fast the game was at this level. I don't think there's ever been a doubt he can score goals and handle the puck, but I think it took him a little while to incorporate more speed into his game.
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.
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.
bit point team teams
We feel we can do it. We feel that we've got a lot of firepower on this team and teams can underestimate us at this point . . . We've all got a little bit to prove.

It was almost too much for my brain to handle. It was a crazy day. I tip my hat to the players. It isn't easy playing in that environment.

The short-handed goal really killed us. We were struggling on the power play and when you're not scoring and the other team scores on (the short-handed play), it is a big shot in the arm for their confidence.

Every role we've tried him out in, he's excelled. He's just playing, by far, the best hockey I've seen him play.
games win
We feel like we probably have to get to the 90s. But we can't win 10 out of 12 games in one night.
best factor games players proven win
You always want your best players on the ice. He's proven he can win games and be a factor in games.
bad flag forward good line played
York's line has played outstanding. They're the flag bearers for us. Every other forward was iffy. They'd have a good shift, then a bad shift. We never generated any momentum.
against belief game overcome teams
We're up against teams that have a little more belief in their game right now. We have to overcome that by outworking these guys.
anyway consistent focused himself pressure puts reasons rick
I think Rick puts a lot of pressure on himself anyway and I think that's one of the reasons he hasn't been as consistent as he'd like. It's something that he's focused on lately.
