Our thought process is to have him get back in game shape by the start of the playoffs. We wanted to bring in more of a veteran presence coming into the playoffs and a guy with the potential to score.
defense guys hard identity
Guys are accountable. They know what our identity is; they're hard-working and defense-minded. We want to be hard to play against.

We're trying to make sure the guys still push. When the weather gets nicer, the girls get a little better looking and sometimes the guys start laying by the pool ... we want to make sure our focus is still on hockey.
good guys trade
It's good for the guys to be a part of that, but we'd trade every one for a championship.

It's fun to come to the rink. It's a different atmosphere. The guys are more focused, and I know they're up for the challenge.

They're well coached, they've got good character guys and they've got good talent. I see some similarities to us, but I don't know about well coached.

beat came game hockey lost realm series talk wants win won
Everyone wants to talk about that series two years ago. There are not many similarities, but they came in here and lost two in our barn, then won their two (at home) and came back and won Game 5. It's not out of the realm for us to beat that hockey club. But we need to win Game 3. We don't have to win the series in Game 3, we just have to try to win Game 3.
easy leave playoffs win work
We have to leave them with the impression, win or lose, that it's not easy to win here. We want to let Anchorage know that when they come here, they're going to have to work for it. That's the way the playoffs are going to be, and this is kind of like a mini-playoff series, and we just want to win that series.
