entertainment held
From an entertainment factor, we held up our end tonight.
effort execution expect game higher
Frustration. Come out with effort and execution like that in Game 1 is unacceptable. It's not who we are as a team, and not who we expect to be. Our expectations are much higher than that.
chance expect expects marty responsibility role top whether win
Marty will play tomorrow. We expect Marty to be a top goaltender every night. Whether he expects it or not, that's the role we put him in, and he has to take that responsibility and give us a chance to win every night.
focused marty past rest year
Marty has been focused all year on the future. This year, he's in a groove. He's just like the rest of us. The past is the past, and he's going to do what he's done for us and play well.
affected series wonder
I wonder how the whole series has affected him.
adapted against came guys loved office rules seems studied training
He was one of the first guys in my office when the new rules came out in training camp. 'What can I do and what can't I do?' It seems like all the rules were going against guys like him. I loved his attitude. He came in and addressed it right away and asked, 'How am I going to play these situations?' He studied it and has adapted very well.
focal game sure
You have to fine-tune. We try to go into each game and say, 'Here's a focal point.' We want to make sure going in that things are right.
climb five hard marty matter obstacle slice
It doesn't matter if it's Marty (Turco) or the defense. No matter how you slice it, when you give up five goals, that's a hard obstacle to climb over.
chance demons forward looking redeem regular
I think he's really looking forward to the playoffs. It's a chance to kind of redeem some of the demons he's had in the regular season.
experience factor solid
I think Janne was a very solid player. You could tell the experience factor was on his side.
I thought it was a revved up game. I think that's what you're going to see going forward.
blocked chances couple goals key shoot
I thought it was excellent. We blocked a lot of lanes and didn't give them a lot to shoot at, and on the chances they did get to the net, Turco was real good. We got a couple of big goals but the penalty-killing was the key for us.
capable deprived people physical playing
We don't feel we're deprived in that area. We feel we have people capable of playing very physical and very hard.
earn good
You have to earn the right to be a good team. You have to earn it every day during the season.
