chance smart
We didn't want to take a chance with it. It's just being smart and not doing anything crazy.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
