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.
everybody last learned learning paid wrong year
One of the things we haven't done very well this year is learning from our mistakes. Everybody makes them, but you have to learn from them. That's what we did in our last two games, learned from what we'd been doing wrong and it paid off.
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.
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.
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.
battling definitely early great holes kept nights ourselves team ways
It was just one of those nights early on. It's just hard. We kept battling and that's the one great thing about our team right now. We definitely don't quit. But we have to find ways to be better and not get ourselves in such big holes here.
great hockey looking piece
I'm not going in there to be the savior. I want to be a piece of a great hockey club. If I can be a little piece that can get it over the top, that's what I'm looking for.
against face line sure
I just want to make sure that, if our line was out there against him, we were in his face all the time.
chance forward looking routine
I'm just looking forward to getting into a little routine here in Carolina. I really haven't had a chance to do that.
definitely fast guys high move puck
It's very similar. There are a lot of guys that can move the puck and a lot of high scorers that are very fast and it's definitely a lot like that.
piece puzzle winning
I want to be a piece of the puzzle on a winning club.
effort extremely
It's inexcusable. The effort part is something that can be controlled, and it's not there right now. It's really, really, extremely frustrating for everybody.
dig great guys hard holes nice night obviously ourselves prepared quitting sign starts sure trying yourselves
It's great we didn't quit, but it sure would be nice to put ourselves in a different position. It's obviously a nice sign when the guys aren't quitting and still trying to do the right things. But obviously we have to be a little more prepared for the starts of games. It's too hard to dig yourselves into holes like this and try to come back every night like this.
both difference loss seems special urgency york
That seems to be the way it's going for us. Five-on-five, we're fine. Special units we aren't. It was the difference (Wednesday in a 3-1 loss to the New York Rangers) and it was the difference (Thursday). We have to play with a lot more urgency on both units.
