We are what we are. That was not an NHL lineup. We're playing with a lot of prospects. People get to see some future players, but these kids are a long way away from wearing the sweater for real and it showed up.

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.

avoid best coaching concern cut goal hard penalties shots staff type unless

There's a flow to the game, but when you take penalties, there is no flow.
