against contain hard people puck putting strong understand
What people don't understand about him is how strong he is on the puck and how hard he is to get off the puck. You just have to try to contain him by putting him against the boards.
allow game goals win
Two short-handed goals is unacceptable. You're not going to win any game if you allow that.
chance clean football good mistakes rest team
If we clean up our mistakes and mishaps, I think we have a good chance to be a very competitive team the rest of the way. I'm encouraged. I think this is going to be a good football team before all is said and done.
nine sound
Nine doesn't sound like a lot (of turnovers) but there weren't that many possessions in the game.
decided last life move stick
I have been kind of doing that move for the last 10 years of my life and decided to stick with what works.
bat game pace
I think so. I think you can get into the game a lot more right off the bat when you get into it (physical play) more. You get up with the pace of the game faster.
biggest guys ice leadership perform somewhat
I think it somewhat comes natural, ... You always want to know what's going on with your team. The biggest thing about leadership is being able to perform on the ice the way you want the guys to perform. Lead by example.
build energy gives huge key penalty point seemed swing team turning whenever
That was the turning point in the game. They had a huge energy swing off of that. Whenever you kill a key penalty like that at such a key time, it really gives a team momentum. They killed that off and seemed to build on it.
skate ticket
We need a place around here we can skate without getting a ticket for it.
kept looked saw shoulder slowly stick tried waiting
I saw it coming, I just tried to get my stick on it. I looked over my shoulder and I saw it just slowly going in. I just kept waiting and waiting.
Right when they got the first goal, I think it kind of slowed us down and we couldn't really recoup after that.
best game great kept knew last team
He's a great leader. The whole team kind of knew we weren't going to give up. We kept going right to the end, and we had our best game in the last little bit.
blame demanding guys harder litter might teach trying whether younger
He's a very demanding coach, whether you're young or old. He might be a litter harder on the younger guys because he's trying to teach us how to play the game, but you can't blame him.
arrested behind lady sitting store talking tire
He was actually sitting behind the tire store talking to a young lady when they arrested him.
