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.
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.
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.
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.
among chart depth eighth
We'd like to get him acclimated with our team. Right now, you'd probably put him eighth on our depth chart among defensemen. That's an important position.
bit changes craig few guy knack obviously personnel teams thinks
When I was in the IHL there were a few teams that used to do that. Some goaltenders just have a knack for breakaways and it can give your team a little bit of a boost. You have to know your personnel before you can make those changes and obviously Craig thinks Morrison is the guy on breakaways.
numbers seven wrong
We're going to need all seven of those guys. To put numbers on them, that would be wrong right now.
best dress guys team
We're going to dress the best team we can. And if one of those young guys is in that mix, that's the way it's going to be.
momentum side
We feel the momentum is on our side now.
came dressing game gave heels penalties promptly room
We didn't play our game in the first period. We got a lot of penalties that put us on our heels early. We went into the dressing room and I thought we regrouped, but we came out and promptly gave up two more.
below guys par played whatever
We sensed during this morning's skate-around that there wasn't much energy. Whatever it was, I thought there were a lot of guys that played below par tonight.
difference everybody five four point teams
You look at what's down the standings, with everybody so close, the difference between four or five teams could be a point or two.
