affairs against behind bench entertainment last played plenty shot value
That's old-time hockey, ... I've played in plenty of those against Doug Wilson, Chicago-Minnesota ? 7-6, last shot wins. It's something I have to get used to as a coach. I've never been behind the bench for wide-open affairs like that. But, obviously, the entertainment value is there for fans.
allow blame bottom camp care chance dwell everybody excited focus focused great job lack last line lip nobody people ready remove respond share solely success wants year
To me everybody has to share in the blame for the lack of success we had last year. The bottom line is that my job was to remove all the distractions and allow everybody to be completely focused on solely doing their job, having a great camp and getting ready for a great start. We don't dwell on last year anymore. We're excited about where we're at. To me how people respond to last year is the most important thing. I don't care about lip service. You can see the focus and the chance at redemption. Nobody wants to go through what they went through last year again.

amongst came dramatic impact meeting players playing room stays team time took
They had a team meeting which was at the right time by the right people. And what was said in that room stays in that room amongst the players. But at the end of the day what came out is: 'We're playing for each other.' I think that had a dramatic impact in that the players took over the team as they should. And they have not let each other down.
