good heading training
We really feel good about the way we're heading into training camp.
care good smarter
Desperation is a good word, but just working smarter and doing the little things, especially in our own zone, will take care of everything else.
both fit gave good guys job nicely played power ryan
Both guys played really well. Erik fit in very nicely and did a lot of good things, just really gave us a jolt in the middle. And Ryan played a lot of power play, did a good job killing penalties.
determination dressing excellent good great less penalty power settle timely
We did all the little things and got timely goals, the power play chipped in and we got great penalty killing and excellent goaltending and good determination in the dressing room. We weren't going to settle for anything less than a win.

I thought he did a couple of really good things. If you were really watching, he made two or three really good plays that just didn't get finished.

He's going to do a great job. He's a knowledgeable guy, and I think he'll do a really good job.

We knew they were a dangerous team, we knew they were in the slide they have been in. We were in a similar slide early in the season.
confidence consistency games gone gotten order points straight three urgency utmost win
I think the urgency and the desperation have gone up. We've gotten points in three straight games and we've had opportunities, now we need the consistency aspect. In order to win in this league, you've got to play 60 minutes, and I have the utmost confidence we'll do that.
couple involved last played
I thought he played much better, that he is getting involved and has started to get more comfortable over the last couple of games.
groove guys hook joint mean plan stink
Most guys want to get in a groove and play a whole game. That doesn't mean that if they stink the joint out, they won't get the hook after 20 minutes, but I just think the mind-set is important, that they know going in that the plan is that they're going to be there the whole game.
handled hype league mature players
We've had many mature 18-year old players that have come into this league and handled a lot. Not many have come in with the hype and the buildup as he has and he's handled it very well.

We're really happy with the way that he's played. I don't think there's any doubt he'll be heading back to Pittsburgh with us. He's earned that right.
difference guys
We'll give guys an opportunity. That may be the difference for them being here, or not.

It's game we should have won. But the other night, the Kings led by four goals and lost. You're going to see games like this now.
