best came flat games goal hopefully jump knock last legs night played playing point saw seemed senators skated skating teams third tomorrow took until wind
That goal really seemed to knock the wind out of us and you saw that in the third period. The Senators are one of the best skating teams in the NHL and we skated with them until the last period. We came out flat and they just took over from that point on. For a team that also played last night, they still had their legs tonight. Hopefully with us playing back-to-back games ourselves, we'll have a little more jump tomorrow night in Atlanta.
consider third
At one point, you'll have to consider making a third unit.
credit guys kept players quit third
It showed that our guys aren't going to quit and that they kept battling. I have to give our players credit for the way they battled in the third period.
chance easy front job second start sticks third traffic unless
We have to get more traffic in front of the net. Those second and third chance opportunities won't come unless we start getting our sticks on some rebounds. But Belfour didn't make our job easy tonight.
saves third
Jose made some big saves in the third to keep us in the game.
guys price second showing third until year
Price is showing things at 18 guys don't usually show until their second or third year as pros.
advantage period third took
We got better, and in the third period we took advantage of our opportunities.
capable fourth line scenario third top worst
I'd say the worst scenario is that he would become a third or fourth line player. I think he's capable of being a top two line player.
ability adjusting assets biggest clear dealing defense ends front league net players point protect result stuck taken tough whether
Everyone is still adjusting right now, whether it's the coaches, the players or the goalies. You've taken away one of a defenseman's biggest assets which is their ability to clear the front of the net and protect their goalie. The defense can't play tough in front of their net and the goalies are stuck dealing with the result of that. At some point the league has to do more to protect the goalies before someone ends up getting hurt.
difficult nice problem
The better they play, the more difficult it gets, ... But it's a nice problem to have.
bit found guess
I guess at the end there we got a little bit lucky, got a bounce, and found a way to win.
great
I'm the opposing coach, but I'll tell you what - that was a great goal.
ask behind chance definitely exciting time
It's definitely exciting any time you get a chance to get back behind a bench. I couldn't ask for more.
beat came playing season stanley together turned win
They came in here and beat us and that turned their whole season around. They started playing together and they went on to win the Stanley Cup.
