capable choice hard job somebody
It's very hard choices. It's not as if somebody is not capable or not getting the job done. But at the end of the day, it makes us a better team.

It's something we take very seriously. We've talked about that since the first day in training camp.

Everybody's healthy. Turco is going into the playoffs with no hiccups this year. So we feel good about where we're at.
bad clean force marty neutral zone
It made them rework their plan. He's just so good. If we can clog up the neutral zone and force them into bad dumps, Marty will clean up a lot of that.

It may have gone the other way now in that if you don't have Europeans, then you don't have enough skill.

It's funny, the phone hasn't rang the last few days.

It's a big hill but big hills have been climbed before.

It was just a solid hit. That's part of the game.

It's early and things will whittle themselves out. Players are competing for spots and minutes, and at the end of the day, the people who earn the spots are going to get it.

It's a couple of individual mistakes that cost us the game. That's the bottom line.

It's a challenge when we're playing desperate teams. We looked tired. Even when we were pushing, we looked tired. We have to get the guys some rest. But I think this adversity can be good for us if we use it to our advantage.
bit decided groin night sore
It's a bit of a sore groin or hamstring, something. He was just a little tender, so we decided to give him a night off.
becoming earn feather good regular season
It's a feather in your cap. I don't think you should underestimate the regular season. For us, we had to earn our way to becoming a good team, and the regular season did that for us.
