negative power score
The only negative was that we didn't score on the power play.
behind bit drew game guys helped hooking penalties played smart
I thought when we played when we could, we played a real smart game. We've got some guys who were a little bit behind and drew hooking penalties and I don't think the way the game was called helped us.
best great league played puck season team took turned
They played a great game. They were the best team in our league this season ... and we turned the puck over too often and took too many penalties.
good liked open pieces playoffs seen
They're all really big pieces of our lineup. We have been really good without them and I would've liked to have seen them make the (NHL) playoffs ... but we'll take them back with open arms.
lose
You never like to lose a game, but I wasn't disappointed with our effort.
blend pressure
And then I thought there's a lot of pressure on him. And he'd just like to blend into all of this.
darn defensive good inability stronger third understand zone
I was disappointed with our inability to be stronger in the defensive zone (in the third period). I understand why, but we were pretty darn good through two periods.
difficult fellow four happy shot sit stops
J-F (Racine) was the fellow I'm most happy with. It's very difficult to sit there with one shot through 12 minutes...And then four breakaways at the end, he stops them all.
almost coach later lead
Later in his career, he was almost like another coach for us, ... He would lead and we would follow.
control rebound
His rebound control was outstanding and that's when he's on his game.
guys injuries met month please six tonight
He got his first goal, that's great, and we need to get contributions from all over right now. I'm very please especially with all the injuries we've had. We had six guys in the lineup tonight that I'd never met a month ago.
camp cut guy prospects
When he was at the prospects camp in July, I didn't know he was the guy from Making The Cut ,
hang played tough
If Manitoba had done something great, you say, 'fine,' but it's tough to hang it on (your goaltender), who played so well for you.
ahead finished four games grand happens maybe move points seven straight win
Grand Rapids will say all the right things, but I think they'll look at the standings and see they finished 25 points ahead of us and think in the back of their minds, 'Hey, let's win four straight and move on. We want to go in and maybe take it to seven games and see what happens then.
