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.
behind early good hockey played until whatever
We don't play good hockey until we get behind for whatever reason. If we'd played like that early in games, we wouldn't get into trouble.
deal four good great half hard learning losses played pride third trouble work year
It's like 'Groundhog Day' half the time. We can take away that we showed a great deal of pride in the third and played hard and battled, but we did the same things that have been getting us in trouble all year to get us down four goals. We haven't been very good at learning from our mistakes, from our losses and even from our wins, and that's something we have work on.
good impression nice teammates win
It's nice to get that out of the way. You want to make a good impression on your teammates and play well. And this was an important win for us.
feeling good guys hopefully learn learning process took win
It's something where we really have to learn from this and learn the feeling of what it took to win this game. We have so many young guys that this is a learning curve. Every game's a learning process and we haven't been very good at learning. Hopefully we can take this and get better here.
aspect brought everybody good interested people wants whatever winning
They brought in some good people that are more interested in the winning aspect of the game. Obviously, everybody wants to play, but they're going to do whatever it takes.
backwards games good step stretch taken turning
I thought we were turning the corner. We had a good stretch of games, and we've taken a little step backwards now. We have to find a way to get back again.
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.
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.
good great job month
He's everything we expected. It's great that he could come in and do a good job like this in his first month under all this pressure.
composed deal focused gets good knows media prepare tremendous
He's very composed at what he does. He's very focused and he knows what he has to do. He knows how to prepare for games. He's very good at it, he doesn't get sidetracked, he knows what he has to do to deal with the media and gets it done, then focuses on what he has to do. He's tremendous at it for 18 years old.
continue five focused games positive stay sure work
We have to continue to play like that. Five on five we were still a better team. We just have to make sure we stay positive and stay focused and work on the things that are actually costing us games right now.
chance crack exciting raise
It was very exciting for us. I get one more crack at it. That's what we play for. I just wanted a chance to get back there and raise it one more time.
kid scary
It would have been 12-0, if not for him. The kid is incredible. He's scary good.
