charlotte december early game last loss played
You have to go back to that (blowout) loss to Charlotte in early December for the last game where we played like that.
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.
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.
beaten park tough walk
To think we're going to go up there and it's going to be a walk in the park is wrong. They haven't beaten us all year. They're hungry. They're in our same division. We're banged up right now and we know it's going to be tough up there.
beat defensive feet good inside instead kept looking moving offensive order people puck simplified
We just kept things out of the middle. We kept our feet moving instead of looking to make a play. When we got it inside the offensive zone, we really simplified things. Let's get the puck to the net. They're a good defensive team. In order to beat them, you're going to have to get people and pucks to the net.

I don't expect it to be good news. He took a big hit.

Second place is on the line here, boys!
areas defensive far plays puck
Reggie has done a lot of things away from the play as far as his defensive play and his play without the puck. He's been in areas and made some big plays without the puck as well.
both ended fought good hockey lose overtime played short teams time
I thought we had some chances. Both teams had chances. It was a good hockey game. Any time you lose 1-0 in overtime you know you fought hard, you played well. You just ended up on the short end of the stick.
main reason
That's the main reason for where we are in the standings.
continue energy intensity
I said we've got to be better, we have to be better. We had to come out with the energy and intensity that we did come out with and continue to do that.
laid performance played
Fresno played well, we laid an egg, and it was an unacceptable performance. We have to play better.
coach easy good group guys hard losing playing practice start steps taking teach tougher understand winning
Guys need to start playing with more confidence. We're taking steps to do that in practice today. All you can do is coach and teach and try to get guys through this. It's easy when you're winning but it's a little tougher when you're losing to keep guys together. But we got a pretty good group of guys. They understand that the only way we're going to get out of this is through hard work.
develop strength
He has to develop strength in that arm.
