He's been doing that forever. He's their superstar.
five good groove last player six
He's been a real good player for us and he really started to find his groove the last five or six games.
kiss
He was so excited, I thought he was going to give me a kiss out there.
approach drive ethic game learning mental next obviously process stronger type unless work worry
He's young. We all were like that. You're not the type of goalie he is unless you are that competitive and have that drive to be the best. It's a learning process to where you get over that and you worry about it after the game but the next day it's a new day. It's not always easy. But with his work ethic and the way he does things I don't worry. Obviously his mental approach is something he's going to get stronger and stronger at.
balance direction figure push starting trying
We're starting to figure it out. We've got a lot of new faces. We've got balance between young and old. And everybody's trying to push in the right direction to find the right way to play.
easier
We have to get better at it. That's one are where we really, really have to get better. Not enough desperation. Once we get that we'll make it a lot easier on ourselves.
finding guys instead lose night start team ways winning
We're finding ways to lose instead of win. (Monday), we didn't have enough guys competing. When you play a team like this, you need everybody. We were much better the other night at home. We have to find ways to start winning these.
compete eventually guys hard honest played positive starting stay team turn ways
We played hard (Saturday). Eventually, we're going to find ways to win. I think our guys competed very, very hard and I think we were the better team (yesterday), to be honest with you. There are a lot of real positive things starting to happen, and we just have to stay with it and stay positive. If we compete like this, we'll eventually turn this thing around.
couple focused frustrated games goes next older responsibility saw stays
(Yesterday) was really the first day I saw him frustrated in practice. We'll see how it goes the next couple games and if need be, the older guys, that's part of our responsibility to see that he stays focused on the right things.
chance wonderful
We know it's a wonderful chance for us.
energy excitement
We have to play better. We're at home. We should have a lot more energy. There was no enthusiasm, there was no excitement to play.
good learn ourselves start
We have to learn from this, not just get excited. We have to learn from this and start something where we at least feel good about ourselves going into the (Olympic) break.
allowed game goals good hockey opportunity period road stronger teams third win
We had an opportunity to win the hockey game in the third period and allowed two goals right in the slot. Good road teams don't let that happen. We have to get better at a lot of things right now and we will, but that's one thing we have to get stronger at.
decent focused forward game lose move played positives stay sure
We played a pretty decent game and to lose like that at the end is tough. But we got a point. Look at the positives and make sure we stay focused on the right things and move forward from this.
