bit hard
I think he's pressing a bit little right now, but I really like how hard he's working, where he's skating, where he's going,
cautious easy hard maybe player pull qualms scenario worked
Maybe another player would have called it a day already, but he worked hard and had no qualms about getting back in there again. Some players, it would be an easy scenario to pull back. He's not that cautious guy.
build extremely great group guys hard worked
We've got a great group of guys here that have worked extremely hard in the first 43 games. We just want to build on it.
deserve determined difference encourage guys hard playing push room somebody
You really do get that feeling. Those guys in that room deserve a lot of credit. They push each other. They encourage each other. They're hard on each other at times. But they like playing with each other. Those guys are determined to have somebody make a difference every night.
benefit fans hard seen
I think we've seen the benefit of how we play, and the fans have come back. They like how we play and how hard we work, and it's just something you want to keep going.
harder involved looking pushing start
J.P.'s looking real good. I like the way he's skating. We're going to start pushing him harder and harder, get him involved in more stuff.
hard hitter mark runs
His mark is he's a hard hitter and runs over people. He's just been out there doing it, and you have to give him credit.
decided hard mentality needed playing tested work year
He had a whole year that tested his mentality playing the game. He decided he needed to work out hard and become stronger.
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.

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.
