His consistency is amazing. All first-year players seem to have some peaks and valleys to their game, and Alex is able to continue to play well.
aware catch sneak speed strengths team
Their speed didn't catch us off guard. This team doesn't sneak up on anybody. We're all well aware of their speed and strengths and how well they can play defensively.
coach emphasize focus forget goal good great lose model outlook pat people players role ruin sight wrong
I really want to emphasize that we have good people here and we can never lose sight of that. Sometimes people focus on the things that went wrong and forget we have great players. I have told the players that I will be patient. ... I had a role model in my coach Pat Quinn when I was a player. He had a goal that he would never ruin anyone's outlook on the game.

I'll talk to him about it and see how he feels.
beating created fifth fourth good guys learn likely major ottawa problem reading tape teaching tonight tool toronto watch watching zone
In Toronto you could say we created our breaks; tonight you could say Ottawa created theirs. Our major problem was reading the rush. Their defensemen were beating our fourth and fifth guys into the zone all night long. We'll likely watch this tape ... and use it as a teaching tool for our group. They're a very good team.

I don't know if you can expect your team to outwork people every single night. You can't. It's impossible.
breathing focus pressure
What helped me was working with my breathing, specifically, using my breathing to stay sharp and focused under pressure and then cool and calm when the pressure was relieved.

I felt that that was one of the few games that we didn't give a winning effort.
trying
I don't think a right winger has scored five-on-five. We're just trying to find some chemistry.
admit choose few playoff race replace separated separation situation teams themselves younger
I can choose for this situation to use me, but I'm not going to. There are a few teams who have separated themselves from the playoff race and we're one of them. I won't say we're out of it - I'll never admit that. But there is a separation where if we are to replace people, we will see a younger player.
came power shots
I know there was a (10-4) disparity in the shots. But in the first period, I think 10 of their shots came on the power play.
