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.
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.
arm decided excitement fans game given nice result team ultimately
I think it's ultimately a team game that should be decided by a team. But during the season, you find a result and you just see the excitement it's given the fans and the players. It's been a nice jolt in the arm for us.
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.
against games human nature tells
We have had some games that have been lopsided against them, so human nature tells you that it's in the back of your mind.
compete games good guys putting situations team three
We got these guys three times in a week, you're going to get to know each other well. I like games like that. For our team right now, it's a good thing. You like putting your team in situations where they have to compete hard, because that's when they feel good about yourself. That's the kind of games you want going into the playoffs.
bite couple decisions forward four games last looked next nobody time win won
The last couple games, we have made decisions that have come back to bite us. You have to look forward to the next game. You have to win four games to win a series, and the last time I looked nobody has won four yet.
cannot caught game message prepare test today tonight
The message today was to prepare for our game and what we need to do to win. Tonight is the night that it was really put to the test because you cannot get caught up in everything that is going around.
bill elevated game help knows plus
Bill knows how he's going to have to play in the playoffs. I've had long conversations with Bill about how he can most help our team. If he can get his game elevated enough and going, it's another plus for us.
blocking game win
Blocking shots, it's going to hurt. You can't win in this game without getting hurt.
both circumstance draw game huge human impact nature negatives player positive rarely sides talking
Very rarely do you see a circumstance in the game where a player has such an impact on both sides of the game. Brenden had a huge impact in that game for us in a positive way. But just like everything else in human nature and life, we're all talking about the negatives (Thursday) and that's what he would draw on I'm sure.
energetic game good nice push rewarded
They play a very energetic style, and they do a lot of good things that push the game along. But it would be nice to see them get rewarded every now and then.
becomes deserve extra factor game outweigh rhythm seven stronger
It's not that seven don't deserve to play or can't play, but rhythm in the game becomes a stronger factor that will outweigh an extra player.
both fit game open players playing talented
They're both talented players and both of them are used to playing with more open ice. It's a game where they really should fit in.
