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.
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.
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.

You have to go back to that (blowout) loss to Charlotte in early December for the last game where we played like that.

A fine is fine with me. Nobody got hurt on the play.
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.
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.
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.

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

Second place is on the line here, boys!
It's not his ankle. It's a different injury.
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.
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.
