certainly chance factor fatigue great hung marty ourselves
Fatigue was certainly a factor tonight, but we hung around and got ourselves a chance to win. Marty was great tonight.
chance expect expects marty responsibility role top whether win
Marty will play tomorrow. We expect Marty to be a top goaltender every night. Whether he expects it or not, that's the role we put him in, and he has to take that responsibility and give us a chance to win every night.
chance demons forward looking redeem regular
I think he's really looking forward to the playoffs. It's a chance to kind of redeem some of the demons he's had in the regular season.
blocked chances couple goals key shoot
I thought it was excellent. We blocked a lot of lanes and didn't give them a lot to shoot at, and on the chances they did get to the net, Turco was real good. We got a couple of big goals but the penalty-killing was the key for us.
caught chances effort good less score
It was less about effort and more about execution. We had some good chances and didn't score and it caught up with us.
chance early good line picking
It's way too early to be picking out line combinations. And there's still a good chance the two could play on the same line.
chance smart
We didn't want to take a chance with it. It's just being smart and not doing anything crazy.
asking average bad chance expect goals good marty mistakes responsibility team
Are they bad mistakes by the goalie? No. But are they goals that we expect Marty to stop? Yes. And that's the difference. We can be an average or below-average goalie and just wallow along, or we can we be a really good one and give our team a chance to win, and that's the responsibility we need Marty to take. And he's done it in the past, so it's not as if we're asking for something that we don't know is there.
against capitalize chances fluke games gone gotten played teams timely
I think we've gotten some timely goals, and the pucks have gone in for us. I don't know, I think we've played better games against other teams and not scored as many. I think it's a fluke thing that we've been able to capitalize on as many chances as we have.
anybody bodies chance continue decision game glad healthy obviously serious team vulnerable
We're obviously glad that it's nothing too serious with Mike, but we'll just see how he is Saturday. That's a decision we'll make at game time. We do have some healthy bodies around, so we're not going to take a chance with anybody and put anybody in a vulnerable situation. But that being said, we want to continue to play well as a team -- and he's a big part of our team.
chances harder played solid
He played a solid game. There were some chances that were a lot harder than I think they looked.
follow good grind hit people plays puck seemed
The puck seemed to follow him around. He was always on the puck and making good plays. He's not going to hit a lot of people or grind you up. But he makes good plays under pressure.
good nice period rewarded team third together wrapped
We got rewarded for the good things we've been doing. It was nice to see the team come together a little bit. The third period kind of wrapped it all up.
against decent good halfway incentive playoffs pushed pushing ways win
I've thought about that before. If we had just been halfway decent against L.A., we probably would have pushed it a little farther. But this is good incentive for us right now. One of the ways to make the playoffs is to win your division, and that was something we set out to do right from the start. We've got to keep pushing in that direction.
