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.
best entities time ultimately within
This is the first time really that all of the entities have had a say in it. It's a partnership within the game, and ultimately we can say that at the end of the day, we're doing what's best for the game.
best counted drag everybody gone needed players step
Things haven't gone the way we would have liked. We needed our best players to step up and be counted and drag everybody else through.
against best guard hungry last meet point round team
If we say we're all right and meet a team in the first round that's been hungry for the last month, that's a problem. We'll do our best to guard against that. At no point are we going to say we're going to back off.
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.
momentum side
We feel the momentum is on our side now.

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.

There are things to build on, even though we're down 2-0.

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.
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.
power pushed third
Our power play got us back into the game. And we pushed in the third and got the ones we needed.
