consider third
At one point, you'll have to consider making a third unit.
advantage period third took
We got better, and in the third period we took advantage of our opportunities.
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.
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.
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.
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.
bigger changes guys means players respect rules today wore
The rules change, a lot changes in hockey. I think we need to show respect to the players who wore those numbers. If that means guys today have bigger numbers, so be it.
character exciting found looked mental score tired
It was an exciting game. We had a lot of mental errors, we looked tired at times. But we found a way to come back and score some big goals. That showed character and determination.
goals hard team terrific timely victory
They are a hard team to contain. But we got some timely goals and terrific goaltending. It was battle-tested victory for us in many ways.
stage
Enough is enough. We're at a stage where these performances are unacceptable.
found game ourselves roller slip somehow wonder
Sometimes you wonder if you need it to be a roller coaster-type of game. We got ourselves back in the game and somehow found a way to let it slip away.
best change might player situation
Sometimes a change is the best thing for player and that might be the situation here.
