front great hockey improve moved puck traffic
I thought we moved the puck around pretty well and we got some traffic in front of their net. But this is a long series, and they've got a great hockey club. We've got to improve our effort.
environmental happy prisoners sort
I thought the prisoners wouldn't want to sort through the rubbish. But they were happy to do it because of the environmental benefits.
compared half offense patient second
I thought that we were more patient with our offense in the second half compared to the first which was important.
best coming doubt given opposition played pressure quality
I thought that was the best we'd played for 2006, there's no doubt about it given the quality of the opposition and the pressure that they were under as well coming into the game.
answered challenged doubts early good knew ourselves questions serious
I thought we answered a lot of serious questions about ourselves tonight. I had some serious doubts about this game. I knew they were a good team. Frankly, we hadn't been challenged early on in the season.
good hampton rusty towards
I thought Troy Goss did some good things today. Hampton was a little rusty today, but got better towards the end of practice.
balls breaking cost hot threw
I thought they were hot and I could have done a better job. I threw too many breaking balls and it cost me.
bit carrie equal extra harder last plus work
I thought that if her play was equal to last year, that would be a real plus because we are so young, she will get a lot of extra attention. Naturally, Carrie has had to work a little bit harder and she's been great.
aggression eight game last plays thinking tough
I thought some of our aggression just went away. It's tough to explain. It wasn't like they were thinking the game was over at the half. In the last eight minutes, they made more plays than we did.
biggest excellent gave great handled level matter message patriotic people questions respect stand time
I thought she gave an excellent talk. She handled the questions with great respect for the people, no matter what level the question was. The biggest message is not to be passive, it's a time for people to stand up, and that may be the most patriotic thing we can do.
bit fun
I think we had a little bit of the No. 1 syndrome. This makes things fun (in league).
hump talk team
I think we got over the hump today. I told the team we don't have to talk about 1984 anymore.
bring compete composure confident discipline good ourselves playing playoff position time
I think we feel confident that we have a good team. But the thing at playoff time is we've got to bring more discipline and more composure than we've been playing with. The jury's still out, but I think we've put ourselves in a position that we can compete with anybody.
feed games
I think we feed off that. These games count. That (emotion) is the way it should be.
