emotions expect game harder hurt overcome periods reality setbacks start strong team trek upbeat win
We've made this trek a little harder on us. But you can't expect to win every game and it may not hurt to get back to reality a little bit. We've overcome setbacks before and I'm upbeat about how our team will rebound. We have to have a strong game from start to finish. We can't take periods off and we'll have to keep our emotions in check.

We needed to bring in size, strength and talent.

We have an opportunity to redeem ourselves. Hopefully we'll put a stop to this.

Our fate rests in our own hands. And that's a good position to be in.

Wheeling is an opportunistic team and we are giving them too many opportunities right now. We need to get away from some of the things that are frustrating us out there.

We played a little scared and I don't know why. We asked ourselves Sunday what we needed to do differently and we still don't know.

We sent the fans home happy and ourselves as well. It's nice that everyone will be able to enjoy tonight with a smile on their face.

The third period has always been our best period. But I don't think it's ever been this good to us.
confidence describe drew good hockey instilled league money national outside pay playing rest team words
I don't know if I can come up with enough intelligent words to describe Drew MacIntyre. The confidence he has instilled in the rest of the team is unbelievable. If there is a goalie outside the National Hockey League that is playing as well as him, I'd pay good money to see him.
absolute gladiator
He's an absolute warrior. He is a gladiator out there.
excited guys obviously player sure
I'm sure the guys will be very excited to see him. Obviously he is a big player and a big part of this team.
far gone hoping maybe ourselves reading second six thinking weeks
Six weeks ago, realistically we were hoping for second thinking Reading was maybe too far gone for first. But we chipped away at it and clawed ourselves back and here we are.
confidence happy playing sound swagger
I'm really happy with our consistency. We're playing sound hockey. It's a confidence thing. We have our swagger back.
asked count finds goes says school
I had him at my son's school. Not only can we count on him to do things that are asked of the team, he goes out and finds other things to do. That just says so much about his professionalism and character.
