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.
division excuse games
There's no excuse to give away games like that, especially division games.
games leave sour
They should think about this and how it feels. Games like this should leave a sour taste.
close games help learn team win
I'd like to go out and win by a big score. But I think these character-building games will help us down the line. The more you learn about your team in close games, the better you'll be down the stretch.
against games known league played rest starting tough
They've always played tough games against us, so we've known about them for a while. Now the rest of the league is starting to find out.
commitment games jump willing
Games come down to little things and commitment and willing to jump into battles. There wasn't enough commitment (Saturday).
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.
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.
camp determined ethic games good sure training wants work
He's been real good in training camp and the preseason games. He's got a real determined work ethic right now and I think part of that is because of the injury. He wants to make sure that he's all the way back.
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.
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.
builds counter fans good hockey punch rivalry teams
I like it. Fans get to see two teams punch and counter punch a little bit., It builds up a rivalry and it makes for a very good hockey game.
since talked training
It's something we take very seriously. We've talked about that since the first day in training camp.
good playoffs
Everybody's healthy. Turco is going into the playoffs with no hiccups this year. So we feel good about where we're at.
