game minutes single special teams won
I don't think you can single out one single player. It was about 26 minutes of special teams -- that's where the game was won and lost.
game goals plays power
I don't think I've ever been in a game where that many power plays goals were scored.
ask game games guys hockey league national playing playoff talk
It's his first National Hockey League playoff game and you're not playing him 12-15 minutes, you're playing him extensively. You talk with the other guys and ask them about their first playoff games and it's significant.
fine game last night overtime second third
It's a fine line. If you look at the series, the first game was an overtime game, the second game is a one-goal game, the third game was 3-2 going into the third period, last night was 2-2 into overtime.
accept game half playing reflection tank
We're playing on about half a tank and you need your goalie to play really well and our goalie didn't play very well. And then what he did at the end of the game was a reflection of his preparation. It was a very undisciplined thing to do and I don't accept it.
broken fine games goal overtime played quick
We played well enough to get a point, but that's about it. Games like these have such a fine line, we had a disallowed goal on a quick whistle, and we had a broken play on the overtime goal, and that was the difference.
close game goes guess guy power
After Game 2, the one thing that's not close is power plays. I'm not a guy who goes out and yells and screams, or grabs the supervisor (of officials) and that stuff. I guess I should have got up and said something after Game 3, and I didn't.
game ran road
I think we ran out of gas. It was like a road game for us.
game guys hard intensity last maintain minutes playing situations special spread
If you look at the last two games, there's a whole game of special teams. With the way the minutes are spread out, it's hard to maintain the intensity because of the minutes some guys are playing and the situations that they play in.
both dead fine game overtime review second teams third
You can review and play the tape. Both teams are dead even. Look at the series. First game is an overtime game and we won. The second game is 4-3, a one-goal game. The third game was 3-2 going in to the third period. (Thursday) night, same thing, it's an overtime game. It's a fine line.
brings chris deal jamie player simon skill tried type
We tried to get Jamie in the same deal as Chris Simon (two years ago). I look at (him) as a development type of player - a player who brings some skill to our team.
afternoon hung proud
We hung in there this afternoon with a deflated line-up and I was proud of them.
against eric gives group likes matter rookies worked
Eric worked hard. He likes traffic. He gives you the same thing every day - it doesn't matter what group he's in (whether against rookies or veterans).
complex honestly hook issues quite resolution seeing small ways
Quite honestly I think we're still a long ways off. I think it's a lot more complex than what you're seeing and hearing. There's big issues and a lot of small issues that hook into them. So to think there's any resolution is really premature.
