best control few last team territory
Our team is at our best when we control territory and that's what we didn't do in the last few minutes.
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.
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.
duration expectation game hockey last minute overtime tonight win
When you get a 5-on-3 in the last minute of the game and a 4-on-3 for that duration in the overtime (3:11), your expectation is to win the hockey game. We didn't do that tonight and that's disappointing.
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.
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.
advantage career certainly compliment few guy hockey ingredient last leagues older opportunity persevere persistent played strive success taken
He's an older guy who's played a lot of hockey in a lot of different leagues and for him to persevere and to be persistent with his career and strive to get to the NHL I think is a compliment to his character. He's certainly taken advantage of an opportunity and he has been a key ingredient in us having some success in the last few weeks.
games good great obvious power takes
Our power play was great tonight, and it was a big part of the game. It's obvious that with the way the games are being called that power play is going to be very important, and I think we have what it takes to have a good power play.
both looking urgency
I think there was a sense of urgency out there for both teams. We were both looking for a spark.
ability hope plays sure using weapon whether
I sure hope so. He's got size, and he's demonstrated the ability to make plays using that size. Whether it's a weapon we haven't had in the past, I don't know. But I know it's a weapon we have now.
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.
earlier fourth joseph swimming team third time year
I think St. Joseph is a much better team that they were in December. Their third and fourth swimmers are swimming much better this time of year than they were earlier in the year.
beats brings bush democrat george jim sure vote
I think Dina's very, very good, but I'm just not sure how she beats Jim Gibbons, ... I'm not going to say she can't, but I don't see how she brings the kind of Democrat who will vote for George Bush to the table.
anxious ready stake stretch
I was anxious to get back out here and get ready for the stretch run. We know what's at stake and we'll be ready to go after it.
