bit character coming night
It was a gutsy win. We need points. (Friday) night, we were a little bit deflated. I thought we showed a lot of character coming back.
book books-and-reading good move steady veteran
The book on Pratt is he's a solid, steady defenseman. He can move the puck. He's got pretty good mobility. He's a veteran defenseman.
nice proud providence weekend
I'm really proud of the guys, the way we played. We did a nice job, especially considering we're banged up, short-staffed going back to (last weekend at) Providence and Portland.
great hamilton nice
It was a great play. (Joel) Bouchard got it on the regroup, and Jarrett and Hamilton made a nice play.
changing easy night observe running sat watched
I wanted to observe a little more, relax, which is easy to do when you're not changing lines. They're used to running benches. Let 'em have it. I sat back (Friday) night and watched Wilkes-Barre. ... (Saturday), I watched our guys.
huge momentum moved nice penalties power puck shy
It's huge (power-play goals). It's a momentum changer. It makes them (opponents) a little more shy because they don't want to give up any more penalties if your power play's going. We moved the puck right around really well, and it's nice to see that. Hopefully, we can keep it going.
effort excellent great
We showed an excellent effort to make a great comeback.
came played
Flat's not the word, but we weren't assertive. They came out and played well, and then we got more assertive.
feed seemed
We seemed to feed off that. We got better.
confidence confident level played playing reading somebody
We wanted somebody we had a confidence level in. He's played in the NHL, he's played in the American League, and he's playing pretty well for Reading right now. I'm very confident he can come in and do the job.
good guy playing puck robert skilled
Sometimes a guy is as skilled as Robert, so good as Robert at playing with the puck, that when they don?t have the puck is when they struggle.
chances decisions early figured forcing jumps keeps smarter
Ryan's making smarter plays, better decisions with the puck. When he jumps up into the play, I think he's figured out, if he keeps things a little simpler, the chances will come. Early on, I think he was forcing plays.
seeing sick team
You play a team 10 times, you're going to have (stuff) like that. They're sick of seeing us. We're sick of seeing them.
bottom
But as a coach, you want those decisions. They make us a better team; that's the bottom line. We'll use them while we can.
