mistake reality thinking
Yeah, there were (defensive) breakdowns but there were also variables into having those breakdowns. I think a lot of the mistakes that we made are definitely preventable, but they're a lapse of mental awareness and that happens with fatigue. I'm not trying to make excuses. This is just the reality of the situation.
expect reports scouting teams
I know what the scouting reports tell me, and they say that Stockton is one of the hardest-working teams in the league. That's enough for me. I expect them to be tough.
gave glad ice newspaper playing series shut won
I'm just glad we won the series. There were a lot of things said in the newspaper here. They gave it to us in the paper a little bit. But we shut our mouths, did our playing on the ice and got the series done.
anyone atmosphere played playoff team tough
That team played us as tough as anyone has in a long time, and it's like a playoff atmosphere in that arena. It's just amazing, but we were able to get out of here with the wins.
good impact missed open sure welcome
It will be a good boost. Reggie is a big part of this organization. He has been for a long time. We missed him. If he is able to play this weekend, we'll welcome him back with open arms. I'm sure he'll have an impact on the game.
games positives skate
They're big, they're strong, they skate well, they're well coached. There's a lot of positives to their team. I think it's going to be a battle. If you look at the games we've played, they've all been tight. There's not much separation.
It's not his ankle. It's a different injury.
coverage defensive eliminate puck turning type zone
Our defensive zone coverage can get better. Turning the puck over has killed us. We need to eliminate those type of mistakes.
fine hurt nobody
A fine is fine with me. Nobody got hurt on the play.
defensive driving playing shooting
Defensive breakdowns, turnovers, no intensity, not playing physical, not shooting the puck, not driving to the net, not skating, not working hard.
I don't think they're must-win games. But I want to win.
against bigger bit caliber elevate forces guys level playing talent
The level of play is a little bit quicker, the guys are a little bit bigger and a little bit stronger. Playing against that caliber of talent forces you to elevate your game.
good
(The Gwinnett series) is going to be just like the Greenville series. It's going to be tough. It's not going to get easier. It's going to get tougher. We know that. Gwinnett is a good team.
bench chances cuts games hockey momentum penalties personnel power takes using win
You can't win hockey games that way. Chances are you're using the same personnel to kill penalties that you have on the power play so it cuts your bench short. It takes away any kind of momentum that you have.
