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.
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.
charge clearly dominated evident good hopefully leadership nights team teams top totally
We're being totally dominated in our own end. Hopefully it's good for our team to get dominated by two teams that are clearly better than us on back-to-back nights because it's clearly evident that our top players, our leadership group, have to take charge of the performances of the group.
anyone ask asks points teams understand
You want 10 out of 16 points (against a divisional rival) -- don't ask for much more. Anyone who asks for more really doesn't understand the whole concept. These teams are all so close.
ask guys hear honest instead teams
Officially, in March, it's a lower-body injury. We're going to do the same thing that 29 other teams do now. When you guys ask about an injury, instead of me being so honest with you, all you'll hear now is that he's got a lower-body injury.
both edmonton gone mean teams towards
I look at Edmonton and Calgary and both teams have gone a long way towards getting back towards respectability. It would mean they've both come a long way.
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.
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.
