extremely second
But the second thing is he just executes extremely well.
cry easy game learn playoff playoffs successful whine win
We won't be successful in a playoff game like that. We'll take the win and learn from our mistakes. It's easy to whine and cry. But we'll whine and cry our way right out of the playoffs if we do that.
guess happened playing plays pressure team willing win
When you can't make plays under pressure and you're not willing to win 1-on-1 battles, then I guess that's the game. Then the bounces. I'd like to see how many bounces go to the team playing with more desperation. That's kind of the way it happened tonight.
bearing great sign step taking
When things aren't going your way, he can step up to that other level. That makes him a great player. He's bearing down on opportunities. He's taking all the challenges, and that's a great sign for our team.
believe competition division focus good grasp happy lock players playing recognize seven teams
We have a real focus on these seven division games. Hopefully, we have a good grasp on being able to lock up the division. Believe me, I'm happy we're playing teams like this. Our players recognize competition, and this is good competition for us.
build though
There are things to build on, even though we're down 2-0.
average
There are things he does that the average person doesn't see, but we see it.
happen marks question
There are some question marks and things that need to happen for us, but I like this team.
chance smart
We didn't want to take a chance with it. It's just being smart and not doing anything crazy.
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.
