anybody best bought deserve egos far gets goals group guys month odd played pro shot team
We were a long shot a month ago and now I don't think anybody can look at us and say we don't deserve to be here. The team we have in there is incredible. It's probably the best group of guys I've ever played with as far as personality-wise, the way everyone gets along, the goals we all have. Everyone bought into what we want to do and there are no egos and that's really odd in pro sports.
coach games guys helped helps last learning majority minutes rookies throw tight
We're a young team, so it helps the learning curve. The majority of our games have been tight in the last 2 or 3 minutes of games. Coach does not have a lot of vets to throw out there, so guys are able to play. That's really helped our rookies excel.
advantage carry guys hopefully tired
They have the experience, but we have the youthfulness on our team. We have guys who probably should be tired but aren't because they are so young, and hopefully we can use that to our advantage and they can carry around us old guys for the ride.

We try to get matchups, and he's a guy that's intriguing because we can match him up in several different ways.
brings deep defense dimension guy level rare speed type
He brings another dimension to the offense, because he's got the type of speed that we've lacked around here. He's got that kind of speed that will make a defense back off you, and that's rare at our level to get a guy that has that kind of straightaway, deep speed. They have to kind of know where he is on every play.

games hockey kid playing score scoring street
It's why we all play the game. When you play street hockey as a kid and are playing out games in your head, you are not scoring to make it 7-1. You want to score to make it 4-3 or score the game-winner.

It's nice because we've been dealing with this adversity the last couple of months. It's fun to play this way.

They bring us speed and skill. They're late acquisitions, but anyone who has watched this team knows they've been key acquisitions.
