believe definitely
I don't believe it was inadvertent. But he definitely got him with his stick.
cuts definitely easy good guys limited looking players round several
Several of those players had very good camps, but we're limited on room. They're not easy decisions. When usually you go through the first round of cuts you're looking at second-tier guys. Some of these guys will definitely play (in the NHL).
definitely execution
We are definitely disappointed. Our execution wasn't very good.
cost definitely experience looked odd served strength team
If you looked at it, you could say our team lacked regular-season experience going into the year. Our strength has been our youth. At odd times it has cost us, but it's definitely served us very well.
days definitely feeling free generally seven symptom
He still wasn't feeling well today, from dizziness, generally foggy. He definitely will be in that concussion category, where at least for seven days he's going to have to go symptom free (before he can skate), and it could be longer.
win
We just play to win games. If that's Marty, then it'll be Marty. If it's Ryan, then it'll be Ryan.
missed
We missed too many opportunities. We didn't convert.
continue energy grind level team
We have to continue to grind away. The energy level of our team isn't great. We're mucking through it.
against chances dominated few gave maybe third won
We got scored against on the few chances we gave up. We only got scored against because maybe we were too aggressive. That same aggressiveness won us the game. We dominated the third period, gave up one shot, and we didn't look back.
expected expects good nobody
We expected to be a good team, but nobody expects something like this.
biggest game schedule year
I've said all year long we'll take the schedule one game at a time. It's an important game. Is it the biggest game of the year? Well, on our schedule it's next, so it is the biggest game for us.
explain guys lost number stand tough
It would be tough to stand here and explain to you guys how they had our number if we had lost tonight.
explain guys lost number stand tough
It would've been tough to stand here and explain to you guys why they had our number if we would've lost again. It's satisfying.
cheap game shot
It was unfortunate we got done in by a cheap shot at the end of the game by Tucker.
