build though
There are things to build on, even though we're down 2-0.
blocks building game last solid three
That was a pretty solid game on our part. The last three games, we've put a lot of building blocks in place. We've just got to keep building on it.
adverse building character hope played trip
We've played well in some adverse situations. I hope that trip was some character building for our team.
bottom build clean desperate few full glass half home line needed overcome playing stuff team win
There's stuff to build on. We needed to clean up our play in a few areas, but that's a desperate team playing at home and we still were able to overcome that. The bottom line is you want to win these games, and we won. So the glass is half full right now.
buildings
But they play in different buildings there. You don't have that same flavor.
builds counter fans good hockey punch rivalry teams
I like it. Fans get to see two teams punch and counter punch a little bit., It builds up a rivalry and it makes for a very good hockey game.
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.
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.
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.
