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.
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.
chance game gave half
We had a chance, we were up 3-0 with half the game done. We gave them a chance to come back.
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.
entertain fans game paid quite
That's not quite accurate. There are still things to play for. You're still getting paid to play, this is still a game where you try to entertain the fans so you try to go hard.
cake expecting game goal period played playing power
You never go into a game expecting a cake walk. I thought we played well enough to win. But again, the power play didn't come through in the first period on the 5-on-3. Then, they get that power play goal and we're playing catch-up.
adam advantage games hunter invaluable job looked steve talk took year
I always looked up to those guys, ... I was able to have Dale Hunter to talk to my first year when he had a job in the organization. Just being able to talk to him after games and after practices, it was an invaluable experience. And to play with Adam Oates and Steve Konowalchuk, there was a lot to learn. Hopefully, I took advantage of that.
erase four games goals guy next type
He's still getting chances. I know as well as anyone, goalies are good. You are not always going to score. He's the type of guy who can go out and get four goals the next two games and erase the drought.
control games gotten quit
I don't think there's any quit in our group, even in the games that have gotten out of control at the end.
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.
