grind rules stronger team
With the new rules he's going to score. Still, I'll take some of the grind and some of the front-of-the-net play that we have in our guys, and I think it's just made us a deeper, stronger team in that sense.
composure handle minutes played pressure strong
We played 40 real strong minutes then didn't show a lot of composure in the third. We didn't handle the pressure very well.
extremely played strong valuable
They've all had a pretty strong camp. In the scrimmages they've played extremely well at different times, but preseason is a more valuable time.
adversity battle feeling stronger
Adversity is only going to make you stronger if you can battle through it. I really thought he had a strong game. You got the feeling he was under control.
looked strong
He was strong for us, and looked comfortable.
execution finish lose mistakes plays strong
Execution wasn't our strong suit. We made enough mistakes to lose it, and didn't finish enough plays to win.
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.
