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 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.
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.
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.
ability affecting focus issue players playing purpose team top
The top end of our team is not playing very well right now. There is a focus or purpose issue with some of our top players right now and its affecting our ability to play 60 minutes.
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.
agent anybody free honestly quite signed
I think quite honestly we've signed the No. 1 free agent in the market. I don't think there's anybody else that compares.
areas good guys player puck splash
He's a good player. The thing about Dustin Boyd is he's a 200-foot player. There's some other guys that get a lot of splash because they're spectacular when they have the puck but he's a good player in all areas of the game.
