games glad hard hit night result row team totally worked
We had about 15 or 16 games in a row where we just totally outworked teams. We didn't get the result every night that we wanted, but we hit everything that moved, we worked hard -- there wasn't one team that outworked us. You're going to have a lull. We had two of them, and I'm glad we responded and didn't make it three.
close games involved likely next people player quite special sure time win wish
I think the two people involved would likely wish it would just go away. This time it's not quite the same as it was the first time. There's special games for each player in the room. It's a close group, and I'm sure they would like to win for Alex, but it's just our next game.

It's going to take Brent 10, 11, 12 games. You just hope it doesn't take three or four months to get those games in. He gave us two good starts. Brent is a good goalie. And he'll give us some more good starts.
character eight games hard testament win work
They work so hard every night, and to go eight games without a win is difficult. For them to come out and to play that hard and play that well is a testament to the character in the room.

I felt that that was one of the few games that we didn't give a winning effort.

We knew that it was going to be a penalty-fest. It's a good game for us to learn what we can get away with and what you can't get away with.

We just expect him to hold strong and steal us a point. It was unexpected for him to shut them out in a shootout.

We tried to create our own momentum and our own energy with about 10 minutes left. We played our game. That's the way we have to play from the start.

We wanted to play Peter real hard because we know he can make an impact on a hockey game. We've seen that here. But trying and doing are two different things.

Tonight we took a step in the right direction. We have a young group that's learning and we are proud of them every night. They work hard and it's nice to be rewarded on the road.
