beat colorado confidence deserved game home thoroughly win winning
We really need to go out and beat Colorado on Saturday. They're still right at our heels, so it's important to get the win in that respect, but it also important to keep winning and keep the confidence high, especially at home going into the playoffs. I thought that we thoroughly deserved the game and I would have been disappointed if we didn't come out with a win.
decisions good position spot stand throughout tough
We have some tough decisions to make this week. But I think we're in a good spot that we have those tough decisions to make and it will stand as a good position to be in throughout the season.
advantage good great save walker
We had a lot of good opportunities we didn't take advantage of, and Walker comes up with a great save to keep it at 1-0.
both changes difficult kept major moves
We could have kept both of them, but it would have been very, very difficult -- nigh on impossible. We would have had to make some other major moves and changes to our roster to make that happen.
concerned deep depth far squad tough
We have a very, very deep squad the whole way through. You never have enough depth as far as I'm concerned it just makes for a lot of tough decisions.
appear five four serious
We'll know more tomorrow. But it doesn't appear to be anything too serious ... nothing that's going to keep him out four or five weeks.
believing good hang situation stick together
We need to stick together and hang tough. It's not a good situation that we're going through, but we're only going to come out of it together. We just have to keep believing that it's going to happen.
against build cup gets great group means sure time
It's great for that group over there (The Inferno) because I know the Brimstone Cup means a lot to them. We keep it here against the old enemy, so to speak, and it gets us into our cup final. First time we've been in one of those for a long time, so a lot of positives. Now we've got to be sure we build on it.
carried club decision difficult eddie faith grown hard head mature national nearly player seen team time win
It's probably the most difficult decision I've had to make in the time I've been the head coach. I'd come to this club around about the same time Eddie was drafted. He's grown up here while I've been here, and, you know, I put a lot of faith in him two years ago and he carried our team nearly all the way to the playoffs. I've seen him mature and get better as a player and win national team honors, so, yes, that was a very hard to let Eddie go.
came everybody exercise goal good group happy main minutes
It was a good exercise. We got the main group through 45 minutes each and that's what the goal was and I'm happy that everybody came out unscathed.
eddie forward healthy looking miss needs obviously order rest soon trying valuable
Eddie is a valuable part of what we are trying to do here, so obviously we are going to miss him. However, we want him to get the rest that he needs in order to get healthy and we're looking forward to getting him healthy and getting him back as soon as possible.
against build knew momentum needed time win
Any time that you get a win it's a boost, and we needed that win against Chicago, at home, there were a lot of positives. But more importantly we knew that it was important to build on that win and not let the momentum go.
ability confidence full goal great hits move playing shots
The kid's playing great. He's full of confidence and he's always had the ability to do what he did tonight. He hits shots that move and dip. That's a great goal and I don't think you're going to see a better one around for a while.
bit came deserved ended felt good last playing playoffs team year
They've started very, very well. They came off last year a little bit disappointed about the way things ended for them. I know they felt they should have got to the playoffs and probably deserved to. So, they have come out this year after it. They are a very good team and are playing well.
