clicking fought good minute power ran time
Our power play was clicking pretty good there, and unfortunately we couldn't get another minute there on the clock. We competed, fought back, but time just ran out.
bear close door game good great learn minutes played seems start until
I thought we played 55 minutes of great hockey. We've got to learn to close the door when we get a chance. We say it, it seems like every game now. Until we start learning, we really need to bear down. It just wasn't good enough tonight.

confidence good minutes period playing third
We've been playing like that for a long time. We have a lot of confidence and a lot of poise. That third period we just dominated, it was a good 60 minutes tonight.

With them being the last team we played against, we don't have too many good feelings for them, and they probably don't have too many good feelings towards us. They're our number-one rival; it's a good way to start the year off.

Our personnel are highly trained, so it would help spell the resources down there that have been going since the hurricane hit.
allowed ancient challenges complexity current entirely error evolution evolved found functions genes millions molecular process selection techniques work
Our work demonstrates a fundamental error in the current challenges to Darwinism. New techniques allowed us to see how ancient genes and their functions evolved hundreds of millions of years ago. We found that complexity evolved piecemeal through a process of Molecular Exploitation -- old genes, constrained by selection for entirely different functions, have been recruited by evolution to participate in new interactions and new functions.
frustrates stick wait
It frustrates the other team. You just stick with it and wait for your chances.
feels tougher
It feels fine. It's just tougher to get up. But it feels great.
both gonna guys knows management talked
I think we're gonna get those guys signed, ... I've talked to both of them and I know they want to be here. They're just doing what they think they need to do, but they know we need them here and management knows that, too. I still think they will get it done and they'll be here soon.
