action best commitment course faced group players puck simplify talented team
From my experience, when a team is faced with adversity, the best course of action is to simplify things. Our play away from the puck has to be a priority. We have a talented group of players here, but we have to make more of a commitment to team defense.
anyone ask control eight game hockey last maintain minutes penalties spent tough trying
If anyone is going to ask me about the officiating, I have no comment. We spent eight of the last 20 minutes trying to kill penalties. It's tough trying to maintain control of the hockey game when you have to kill penalties like that.

capable certainly close consistent exciting guys help last line mike people player players production realize rewarded successful team training valuable
Mike showed that he was a capable scorer last year. He's probably been our most consistent player from day one of training camp. He's one of those guys who is undervalued by people away from our team, but who the players and the people who are close to our team realize how valuable he is. He does all the little things out there that help a line be successful and help a team be successful. He's certainly getting rewarded for it from a production standpoint, which is exciting for him.

adversity close evidence game mature provides season shown signs team watched
For every game he plays, he just provides more evidence that he belongs. We've watched him close and he's shown no signs of fatigue. It's a long season and we'll go through some adversity as a team and he will as an individual. But we feel comfortable that he's a mature kid.
access almost business capital cash change compete competition fact fifteen fund general good grow improve industry legal outside status testimony
For almost fifteen years Good Vibrations has used its owners' cash to grow and compete in the marketplace. As industry competition increases, so does the requirement to have access to outside capital to fund that growth. The fact that they have been self-funding for so long is testimony to their business strengths. The change in legal status to a general business corporation should improve Good Vibrations' access to outside investors.
according count decent guys lack score scoring tough win
It's tough to win when you don't score. I don't think this was a lack of chances. According to our statistics, we had 18 scoring chances. That's a pretty decent amount. The guys we count on to score had chances. We just didn't finish.
