aggressive building means penalty team ugly
Their penalty killing in this building is really, really good. They're probably the most aggressive penalty-killing team we've faced. That means you have to get an ugly goal, just like they did.
means
It really is a middle-of-the-lower-body injury. That means he's week-to-week.
both means opportunity teams terms trying ways
Both teams have come a long ways in terms of trying to get their organizations back to respectability. If they ever had the opportunity to play each other, it means that they've come a long ways.
excellent forward huge interested last means player proven since three
Marcus is an excellent two-way player, proven in the NHL and can play all three forward positions. He is by no means a short-term acquisition. He is a player I have been interested in since last summer. What's huge for us is that we did not have to give up a roster player or a prospect.
against came changed chicago decision group guy mind phil sharp start
It was a group decision to start the other guy. But the other guy wasn't very sharp against Chicago and I changed my mind this morning. I told Phil it was his start when he came to the rink.
It was one of those games. Hopefully, we got it out of our systems.

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).
exceeded goal players quietly reached
Every goal that we've quietly set in our room, our players have reached it as a team. As a team, we've exceeded what I've expected. What we haven't exceeded -- or reached -- is individuals, where we thought they should be.
best
Dion has been our best player. All year. Period. It isn't even close.
early
Dion was not very good, especially early in the game.
broken sounds totally
This sounds like a broken record. We are being totally dominated.
