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.
advantage bent played
I don't think we played well. They had the territorial advantage, I guess. We bent a lot but we didn't break.
good played
He's a big body, and he played for a pretty good team. He's got a big reach.
guys played stepped
Guys stepped in who hadn't played a lot before. For me, it's really satisfying. I'm really proud.
everybody great played
We played a great game. Everybody chipped in.
came five played thinking waiting
I didn't think we came out with much jump. I don't know if we were thinking too much, or waiting for something to happen. They had five D, but their D played well.
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.
bury front good move shots traffic
We had some pretty good chances. We just didn't bury them. We need to move it, get some shots through and get some traffic in front of the net.
effort excellent great
We showed an excellent effort to make a great comeback.
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.
rest symptoms trying
We're just trying a different approach. He wasn't going to play. We'll give him a little more rest and see if that makes the symptoms better.
coverage defense good hard past tried
I thought our D-zone coverage wasn't very good at all. Our defense wasn't very good at all. You can only go to the well so many times, but we tried hard the past two nights.
adding feed guys others seem
I think they?re all something different. The combination, the mix, everybody?s adding something and they?re doing it together. The guys seem to know what the others are going to do and they feed off each other. When I see that, I say give them a chance.
