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.
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.
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.
behind provide since talked training valuable
The shootout is going to provide very valuable points. If you don't take them seriously, you're going to be behind the game. We've talked about that since Day 1 of training camp.
both bringing club continue continued cup deal entire excited forward goal great moves provide pursue remain stability staff stanley success together ultimate
These moves will provide the club a great deal of stability as we continue to pursue our ultimate goal of bringing the Stanley Cup back to Dallas. I'm excited that the entire staff will remain together and we look forward to continued success both on and off the ice.
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.
line seemed
Each line got a goal. So it seemed to work.
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.
good hard stop work
There was a lot good, old-fashioned hard work out there. If you want to stop the bleeding, that's a good place to start.
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.
