again discourage game intent played positive pound sure team trying
Put yourself in my shoes. Your team played well and you're trying to make sure you play well again in Game 3. Do you pound it down when it did a lot of positive things? The intent was there, and we don't want to discourage that at all.
deserved exactly hard knew played
We knew exactly what was coming. I don't think we played hard enough. Not with enough urgency, we deserved our fate.
adverse building character hope played trip
We've played well in some adverse situations. I hope that trip was some character building for our team.
camp couple eight four judge last minimum moves played required three throw veteran
It's the only way to judge them, throw them in those games. We are required to play eight veteran players, and we'll probably have the minimum the first couple of games. As camp moves on, because we haven't played in a while, those last three of four games, I'd like to have the lineup kind of set.
below guys par played whatever
We sensed during this morning's skate-around that there wasn't much energy. Whatever it was, I thought there were a lot of guys that played below par tonight.
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.
beaten cut defense ended giving goals hands kept night penalties played six took worst
This is the worst our defense has played all season, hands down. Giving up six goals a night just isn't going to cut it. We just kept on getting beaten and making mistakes, then the penalties we took ended up in our net.
credit defensive deserves dictates equation front good great guy last line marty numbers performance played team time year
I thought our team played a very good team defensive game. Hatcher had a great year and we played very well in front of Marty, but you can't get numbers like that without having an unbelievable performance from your goaltender. Marty deserves a lot of credit for that. He's the guy who a lot of time dictates a lot of the equation as the last line of defense.
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.
confidence earned good guys job played team tight together
Our guys have earned the right to be a good team and a tight team. We've played pretty well together all year, so they have confidence they can get the job done.
carries confident european experience finding high himself knows league less level matter minor niche played players positive seems separated situation typical
He's been a real positive guy. Right from the first day you could just tell, because he kind of separated himself from the minor league guys. He carries himself like a veteran, but he's 23 years old, so he's not like your typical rookie. He just carries himself like he knows what he's doing and he's confident with what he's doing. Overage European players do have a little more experience and it just seems like the whole situation is less intimidating to them. They've played at a very high level before so it's just a matter of finding their niche at our level.
execution face game good hard hopefully lose move neutral played players puck slap top turned zone
Hopefully this is a good slap in the face for our players. We turned the puck over in the neutral zone 30 times. When you lose execution its hard to get it back. I'm disappointed in the way our top players played and execution. It's just one game and we have to move on.
embraced hard played role scenario trying
He embraced the role and embraced his teammates, and his teammates, in the end, embraced him and played hard for him. That's the scenario we're trying to have.
chances harder played solid
He played a solid game. There were some chances that were a lot harder than I think they looked.
