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.
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.
brings closest figure gets group guys hard road team trips
This is probably the closest group of guys we've had. Trips like this help, because it gets everybody, especially the guys with families, involved. It brings us together. The way our team plays, we should play as well as on the road as we do at home. It's hard to figure out.
along build chances net second teams third time trying
Part of what we're trying to do is get pucks to the net and outwork teams along the boards, something we'd like to build on. But now pucks are just going to the net. Some of the time when we're getting a lot of those chances we're trying to get second and third opportunities. It's really just getting the bounces.
couple team
That's a team that embarrassed us a couple times this year. You get up for things like that.
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.
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.
giving needed
We were giving up between 35 and 50 shots, so something needed to change.
