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.
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.

I thought our guys really came out right from the drop of the puck and played hard. Not only played hard, but played real smart.
complete difficult granted guy guys hope ice plays tough
He's been a difficult guy to replace. He's one of those guys you take for granted when you have him in the lineup. It's been tough not having him because he plays in so many different situations. He's a complete player. We hope to get him on the ice this weekend.

He certainly held his own, and that's not an easy thing to do, to be asked as a young player to play with two guys like that and not be intimidated. He figures things out pretty fast.

I don't know how to evaluate tonight. I said to our guys there were just so many fluky goals, crazy penalties.

We had the opportunities to break the game open and we didn't.

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.
