consistency great handle hockey players sure test
His test is going to be consistency. The great players do it for 10 years, and I'm sure that he will be able to handle that. He's just so all about hockey that I can't see why he wouldn't.
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.
create energy minutes momentum played tried
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.
beat directing game good hard job life net saves seen teams
I've never seen so many good saves in a game in my life by a goalie. They beat us at our game, and our game is outworking teams and directing pucks to the net and they did a good job at that. That's the hard part to swallow.
penalty point shots
The shots were 8-1 at one point and 13-3 and then we had a penalty and we don't kill it. I think that was the story of the game.
avoid best coaching concern cut goal hard penalties shots staff type unless
The shots on goal are a concern for the coaching staff and the whole team, not just Olie. It's kind of hard to avoid those type of things unless you cut your penalties down. But we're fortunate. We think he's the best goalie in the league.
flow
There's a flow to the game, but when you take penalties, there is no flow.
call course hear hurt puck whistle
Did I hear a whistle before the puck went in the net? Of course not. It's a call that really hurt us.
agree course explained hear puck rule whistle
Did I hear a whistle before the puck went in the net? No, of course not. The interpretation of the rule was explained to me and I don't agree with it.
five guys million pick stuck weeks wire worth
There's no way around what we're doing. We're not going to pick five guys off the waiver wire and two weeks from now we're stuck with $3 million worth of salaries and they're not going to be here. It just doesn't make any sense.
ahead exhibition focusing light regular steps sure taken work
We have some work ahead of us, but we're not focusing on our first exhibition game. We're focusing on the light at the end of the tunnel. We want to make sure all steps are taken before we get to the regular season.
tape teaching tool watch
We'll watch this tape and use it as a teaching tool for our group.
amount best control ended game gotten less likely overall penalties puck taking
That was our best, likely our best overall game of the season. I thought we had more control of the puck than we have a lot of other nights, and so we ended up taking a lot less amount of penalties (than) we have gotten in the past.
miss practice single
That's the part I like. He didn't miss a single practice.
