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.
came formed goes hanging identify north people team time
This organization came in and formed its own identity. Time goes on. People identify with this team more than hanging on to the North Stars' past.
advantage against came game mental plan pushing soft team
We're going against a team where the whole game plan going in was to take advantage of our turnovers and soft mental play. We were pushing to take that mental play out of the equation, but there were too many times it came into it.
came challenge dominating games great integral second strong
We put the challenge to him and he made a great impression. They can be a very dominating line. The thing about them is that they are so big and strong and in back-to-back games they came out and were just as strong the second night. They were an integral part of our win.
adapted against came guys loved office rules seems studied training
He was one of the first guys in my office when the new rules came out in training camp. 'What can I do and what can't I do?' It seems like all the rules were going against guys like him. I loved his attitude. He came in and addressed it right away and asked, 'How am I going to play these situations?' He studied it and has adapted very well.
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.
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.
