bit game games playing scoring turn win
Basically, I told them that we started playing their game a little bit - you take a turn scoring and I'll take a turn scoring. You don't win games like that.
felt
I felt I was being out of character.
chances gets giving head matter stand time
It's just a matter of time before he gets hurt, if we keep giving up chances where he has to stand on his head all the time like that. Something's going to happen.
changed cultures days everybody funny game guys lunch nice occasions similar sitting soda today together whether
It's funny. I think the game has changed in that in the old days guys used to hang around a lot more together because everybody pretty well had similar interests. Today there's different cultures and different personalities. Now, not everybody does the same thing. When you do get occasions such as this, it's always nice to get out with your teammates. You find out a lot about each other when you're just sitting around, whether it's lunch or having a soda or whatever.
marty stops tons
They had tons of chances. Marty made some stops that I don't even know how he made them, and that's why he's the best,
bunch forward front great guys leader particular somebody step strangest team teams
It's the strangest team I've ever been around. They're a different group. A leader would probably help. Most great teams have somebody that will step forward. We have a bunch of guys and not one particular guy to come forward and step in front if things get out of hand.
guy moves players talented
It's one of those plays. Talented players are going to try to make moves like that where they try to put it between a guy's feet. When things are going well and everything's going your way, those get through and you don't even think about it at the end of the game. The guy (Horton) didn't take very long to get that (shot) off, either.
playing whatever
They're playing terrific. Whatever he's doing, it's working.
bit enthusiasm focused guys seemed
There seemed to be a little bit more life, a little more enthusiasm. Guys were probably a lot more focused when we got on the ice.
morning talk wife yesterday
Even yesterday I didn't know what I wanted to do. I called my wife in the morning ... I couldn't talk to her on the phone.
bang couple knew next occasions puck simple turned
We knew they were going to come at us strong. We just wanted to keep it really simple and get the puck in deep, but we turned the puck over on a couple of occasions and the next thing you know, bang it's in the net.
detriment player
What makes him the player that he is, ... is also a detriment too.
confident cool
I don't know how confident and cool he is, but I know how confident and cool I am when I see him on the ice.
bad everybody playing saying trying
We're just trying to get better. We're still in the hunt. As bad as everybody is saying we're playing and everything else, we're right there.
