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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
crazy exciting fortunate hockey season tickets win
(Crosby's arrival) will really revitalize hockey in Pittsburgh, back to when I was fortunate enough to win back in '91. It's pretty awesome. We've got our season tickets going crazy ... it's been pretty exciting around here.
honestly punch reach
Dumb. I honestly don't know if I could reach him, if I even wanted to punch him.
great hoping obviously ray smart talent
Ray is a very smart player. Obviously he's got great talent, and we're hoping he's able to come back and make a difference.
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.
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.
hurt obviously seem terrific
It doesn't seem to have hurt him, has it? It's pretty amazing, what he's done. He's obviously a terrific, terrific player.
