adjust group guys happening mistakes players surprised talented worried worry
I think you adjust with the players you have. I think we're a talented group that's surprised a lot of people. For myself, I just let those guys play - not worry so much about the little mistakes in the game, more worried about the things that are happening all the time.
bitter game hell start
I thought we did a hell of a job. From the start of the game to the bitter end, the desperation was there.
man satisfied stopping
I can tell you to a man nobody's satisfied with stopping there. We want to keep this thing rolling.
given indication nobody team
From my understanding, nobody in our organization is involved. I haven't been given a lot of information, but there has been no indication that someone on our team is involved.
against bounce dismal ethic good great minutes played standpoint work
From a work ethic standpoint and skating, we did a lot of great things in the game. To bounce back after the dismal 30 minutes we played against Montreal, we did a lot of good things.

I don't think we're going to blow anyone out of the water, but I think we can hang tough with the best of them.
change eight game points straight
I don't think one game would make that much difference. We've had points in eight straight games. We've been on a tear, and I'm not going to change anything.
case confirmed diagnosis leaning looks montreal sports toward
If it's positive, we want to get it done ASAP. The diagnosis looks like it's leaning toward sports hernia, and it should be confirmed (today). If that's the case we get him back to Montreal and have (the surgery) done.

We totally dominated the game. If it wasn't for their goaltending in the first period they should have been down 5-0.

We took the penalties that allowed them to have the five-on-three.
advantage break chances game gave good situations sure taken took
We took advantage of every break we got. We took advantage of our odd-numbered situations that we haven't previously taken advantage of in Game 3 and Game 4. The good chances they gave us, we made sure we finished. We made sure that we got them down when we had the opportunity.
advantage break took
We took advantage of every break we got.
allow bomb bombing fantastic four
He's a fantastic player. You allow him to bomb us from where he was bombing them, he should have had four or five.
caught reduced size took
He said it actually caught him where they reduced the size of the blocker, where they took some of the padding away. It's just unfortunate.
