best deserves good knows respected winning
I've always said that Jake is one of the best goalies in this league, and I think deserves this. We don't have a winning record, but Jake is respected in this league, and everyone knows how good he is.
best describe hope looks practiced
That's the way it looks now. The best way to describe Jake is to say he's day-to-day. We hope he can play, but he hasn't practiced in a week.
best good jeff rest safe
It's good news, but I think it's best to let Jake rest and let Jeff go out there on Wednesday. It's the safe thing to do.
best seen truly
It truly was one of the best goaltending performances I've seen all year. Jake was amazing.

Whenever you have success against a team, it helps you a little bit, because there's proof you can get it done against them. You definitely go in thinking you have an opportunity to beat them but only if you bring your best game. This is a very good team.

They are still the best team in the league in my opinion, and certainly the best team we have played. Their roster is so deep and talented. We have definitely been playing better in recent games, and this will be a real test for us.

That's up to Phoenix, but we're happy to have him here. Heck, he can stay as long as he likes.
chance close coach few games good great playing three tough turn weekend weeks win
That's tough to take, because as a coach I know that we had a great chance to win three games this weekend but couldn't do it. Obviously, we're playing better than we were a few weeks ago, and that's good to see. Now we have to find a way to turn some of these close games into wins.

We couldn't find anyone, and the team knows Dave from the times he's skated with us. You hope in this situation that Dave doesn't have to play, and the plan is to have Jeff play the entire weekend.
confidence nice
I think Maris is going to come back with a lot of confidence and give us a nice jolt of energy. It's something that we really need right now.
