certain darn goals heavy phoenix played seen weight
I played with Keith in Phoenix when he was pretty heavy and he scored 50 goals. I've seen Keith play at a certain weight and be pretty darn successful.
respect sure
I'm sure he will. He had a lot of respect in St. Louis.
sort
It's sort of been one after the other.
huge key played prettiest saves third
I'm not going to say it was the prettiest game, but I think the third period, we played solid. 'Sandy' was the key to the game. He made some huge saves for us.
good hockey north
It wasn't a very good day for hockey in North America.
knowing lie nobody tough year
It's been tough and nobody in here's going to lie that it hasn't been a tough year for all of us, not knowing what's going to happen. But we have no part in that, everything in that is out of our control. All we do is play hockey.
against game good matter mistakes plan work
We just got away from our game plan a little bit. I mean, we're working hard. It's not a matter of work ethic. Mistakes we make against really good teams, they end up in our net.
early expect face letting lost people year
Early in the year where we lost 11 or 12 in a row, there were times when I didn't want to show my face in public. It was frustrating. You feel like you're letting a lot of people down and you expect so much more out of yourself and from the organization.
everybody good people relief run sorted sure taken
There's going to be a lot of relief I'm sure for a lot of people around here. It's taken a while, but it will be good for everybody in the long run if they can get this sorted out and have a good summer.
element except finger good maybe whatever
There's nothing you can really put a finger on, except preparation. For whatever reason, maybe we feel too good about ourselves. We shouldn't. I think we get out of our element a little bit. Then we try to do too much.
against elevate helps loves playing rivalry
That's going to be a rivalry going on for a long time. Jacks loves that, I think he loves playing against him. It helps him elevate his game.
anybody besides main shoot
Obviously, you didn't want to let him shoot the puck. That was your main focus. You let anybody else shoot it besides him.
everybody good high winning
Obviously, winning makes everybody feel better about themselves. We're not that high yet, but we had a good week.
good
It's one of those nights. They scored on their good opportunities and we didn't even come close.
