admit ashamed definitely easier games guys next played playing point pride time wanting win
It's definitely easier if you're in the playoffs. From that sense, this is a completely different mind-set from where you want to be. But at the same time there are a lot of guys here playing for jobs, playing for next year. At this point you're playing for pride and wanting to win as a group. But I admit we should be ashamed about some of the games we've played lately.
cut definitely eyes happy mistakes
We made some mistakes at the end by pressing a bit. When it's 5-1, guys' eyes got a little big. We need to cut down on those mistakes, and we will. There's definitely some things we need to do better, but I was happy with a lot of things as well.
definitely instead mistakes needed question stuff talking worked
Some of the mistakes we keep making are fixable, ... There's definitely things that need to be worked on, but it's a question of going out and doing it instead of talking about it. A lot of the stuff that was said needed to be said.
anytime build definitely face good hopefully nice pittsburgh regular walk
Anytime you come to play, you want to win, ... It's nice to walk away with a win. It's definitely not the same Pittsburgh Penguins we'll face in the regular season, but we did some good things that hopefully we can build off of.
decisions either good throwing
We weren't making good decisions at either line, ... We weren't getting pucks out of own end. And in our end, we were throwing pucks away.
economy-and-economics exposure sector
The telecom sector has significant exposure to the economy.
chances continued crack penalties power share spending time
We had our share of chances on the power play as well and we didn't take advantage. We continued to give a lot of penalties up, but that's because we are spending a lot of time in our own end. That's something we have to crack down on.
confidence excited gets goal monkey regular though
Even though it's not the regular season, it gets the monkey off his back, ... You could see once he scored his first goal how excited he got, how much confidence he got.
enabling fan fans favorite game great guy line opens red score
You get a guy like that, he's going to score 25, 30, 35 goals. It will be interesting to see if the game opens up without the red line enabling him to use his speed. I don't know what Bonzai is going to do. He's been a fan favorite for so many years. It would be great for the fans to see him come back.
dollars estimate hundred million risk several total
We estimate Qwest's at-risk revenues from this arrangement total several hundred million dollars annually.
finding games good lost overtime quite teams ways
That's the hump, the one-goal games that we have lost all year, the overtime games that we have lost all year. I think we've done good things at times just finding ways to win. Good teams find a way to win, and we are close. It's not quite there.
against builds division played playing understand wish
I wish we played every team, but I understand that playing a lot against your division builds rivalries.
couple late penalties played team
We need to be able to put a team away. We weren't able to do that, but we were able to get a late goal. Two breakdowns and a couple of penalties in the first, other than that, we played pretty well.
team
We need to be able to put a team away. We weren't able to do that.
