cheap game shot
It was unfortunate we got done in by a cheap shot at the end of the game by Tucker.
couple disrupted good guys handle missed net passing power selection shot
Our entries weren't very good. Our passing wasn't very good. Shot selection was bad. We missed the net on good opportunities. We didn't get traffic. We had a couple guys on a couple shifts with the power play that couldn't handle the puck, and it disrupted the whole power play.
cheap dirtiest hit known low shot
I thought it was cheap, I thought he went low at the knees. It may not be the dirtiest hit ... but he didn't have to go low. He's known for that. He's a cheap shot artist.
absolute best call deserve head knee league players playoffs shot
I want him suspended. I want him fined. I'll come to the hearing. I haven't called the league once; I'll call them 10 times tomorrow. If you go knee on knee and take a shot at a guy's head at the same time, you don't deserve to be in the game. We're going to the playoffs and you're going to take out of our best players because you couldn't take a hit? That's a joke, that's an absolute joke.
aggressive chance good lane shot stay stick
A - you have to be in the shot lane if you want to be a penalty-killer. B - you have to have a good stick. Your stick has got to stay active. C - when you have a chance to be aggressive you be aggressive.
fine nerve outside shot stung walking
That shot stung the nerve on the outside of the knee, which numbs the whole leg. But he's walking fine now and will be able to play.
beat both ended front huge marty puck pushed ryan screen shot sound
I thought both of them were very good. I thought Marty had a very sound game, made a lot of big saves. Ryan had one screen shot beat him that he didn't see at all, and then a huge scrum in front of the net, where the puck ended up getting pushed over. He was very good.
again chances concern continue creating games last number playing shots three
The last three games we got three points. Our concern is we want to continue playing well. The number of chances we're creating again and shots we're getting is the game we want to play.
absolute best deserve head knee players playoffs shot
If you go knee on knee and take a shot at the guy's head at the same time, you don't deserve to be in the game. We're going to the playoffs and you take out one of our best players because you couldn't take a hit. That's an absolute joke.
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.
