chance charge critical job team understand
We have to do a better job controlling momentum. We have to understand those critical situations, and we have to take charge in those areas. It will give our team a better chance to win.
case chance game job losing power puck win
It's a concern. I don't think it was a case of the power play losing the game for us, but it had the chance to win it for us and it didn't. We've got to do a better job of getting the puck to the net.
area chance people
A lot of people in the area don't know what I do, so this is my chance to show them. This is my profession, it is how I make my living.
bring chance effort energy execute fault focus game hockey intensity necessary ourselves plan sound
I thought our effort was sound today. It was an even hockey game. We had a game plan going in and we wanted to execute and bring that necessary energy and focus to give ourselves a chance to win. I thought we did that tonight. I can't fault the effort and intensity of our players.
certainly chance credit earn experience given guy last line offensive opportunity produce relate shown side spot team trying year
I can relate to him just through the experience that he's been through in the past. He's a guy who has been in and out of the lineup or has been on the back end of the lineup and was trying to earn a spot on the team or find his niche. Certainly last year he was given an opportunity to play on an offensive line and have the chance to produce on the offensive side of the equation, and to his credit he's shown that he's capable.
break game open
We had the opportunities to break the game open and we didn't.
certainly good scoring third
We certainly generated enough scoring chances, especially in the third period. On most nights, enough to win. Biron made some good stops, especially down the stretch.

Eli's going to be an outstanding quarterback, no matter what the setting. It's just exciting to see these pieces come together. It's definitely helped him develop, no question.
defense energy played reason stepped veterans
Our defense really stepped up. From our veterans to our young guys, they played with a lot of energy and they were a big reason for our success.
against coming conference electronic facility meet mind nice north river shore toms week
We like to put this meet against Toms River North on the same week as the Shore Conference meet. We don't mind coming here. It is a very nice facility and it has electronic timing.
asked job power
There's nothing we can do about it. But if you asked me why we lost, I'd say we have to do a better job on our power play.
certainly decisions difficult guys handful knocking manage plays remains
We have a handful of guys right there who are knocking on the door. How that plays out remains to be seen, but that will be something we will try to manage on a day-to-day or a week-to-week basis. We will certainly have some difficult decisions to make.
ask both games given last opportunity points
We've got points out of the last two games. I think (Thomas) has given us the opportunity to do that both games and that's all you can ask out of your goaltender.
dug fought guys hard point third timely tired
That was a hard fought point for our guys. Our guys really battled, especially in the third period. That was really competitive and our guys really dug down when they were tired to get that timely goal.
