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.
expect good news took
I don't expect it to be good news. He took a big hit.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
boys line second
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.
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.
develop strength
He has to develop strength in that arm.
