awful close dig dug kept ourselves passing shooting tried until
We dug ourselves a hole, and we tried to dig ourselves out of it. We kept it close until late, but they didn't give up a lot. Our passing was awful and our shooting was worse.
aggressive chances gave maybe played scoring tremendous won
We really played a tremendous game. We gave up scoring chances because maybe we were a little too aggressive but that same aggressiveness won us a game.
game tried worse
That was probably the most embarrassing game I've been a part of. The more we tried to do things, the worse it got.
brought collapse guys kept low poor squeeze team triangle trying
That was disappointing, but we made some poor decisions. They brought their triangle in real low and we still kept trying to squeeze plays. When you see a team collapse as much as they did, it would have been better for our guys to shoot.
means tough
That's a tough loss. That means he won't play in the Olympics.
change reason
I don't see any reason to change anything, no.
afford might totally
I don't think they can afford it, first of all, to get back in the series. I think you might be surprised. It just might be totally the other way.
serious
He's not well. I'd put him in the serious category. He wasn't doing well, even at the end of the game.
angry good guys
He's got a lot of guys angry at him, and that's a good thing,
chances five four himself odds pressure
He's in on four or five chances every night. The odds right there aren't where they should be because he doesn't need that many chances. I think he's put a little pressure on himself to get the first marker on the board.
case extra hard himself time trying
He's in a battle. But in Tim's case he's really matured. He put the extra time in to get himself bigger, stronger. It really is about his career, and I think he's trying real hard to resurrect it.
winning games like-you
It's north and south pole. When you win you feel great, but when you lose it, it's like you've lost 10 games in a row.
winning cups stanley-cup
I'd rather have a 16, as in Stanley Cup playoff wins.
team believe reality
You believe you can make it every year. You don't think it's going to end. But the reality is that most teams, you end up in, you end up out.
