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.
since talked training
It's something we take very seriously. We've talked about that since the first day in training camp.
bad concerned goes planning player respond seemed serious skating talked
When any player goes down you get a little scare, but it's not bad at all. He just tweaked an old injury. When I talked to him between periods, he seemed to respond well, so I don't think it's serious at all. I just talked to him and he was planning on skating tomorrow, so there's nothing to be concerned about. I don't think there's much to evaluate.
ended guys importance needed points recognized talked third trip
We talked about the importance of this game. Our trip would have ended 3-3 or 4-2. These are points that we desperately needed and I think our guys recognized that in the third period.
bad focus giving habits puck taking talked team turning
The focus for our team is doing things right. We talked about habits ... That's not turning the puck over, that's not taking bad penalties, that's not giving outnumbered rushes. Those are habits you have to have in place going into the playoffs.
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.
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.
