ability above average good period possesses
Like any young player, there was a period of inconsistency. He can be average and then he can be Clarke MacArthur. Average isn't good enough, but he possesses the ability to be above average.
good near occur puck seem
A lot of good things seem to occur when he's out there on the ice. He's near the puck at all times and just makes things happen.
fighting fights-and-fighting front good guys job
He's battling, he's fighting for everything, and the guys are doing a pretty good job in front of him.
game good
He was good enough long enough to let us get in the game and we didn't take advantage.

Their confidence and good play up there should help us here.
both career excellent good himself negative opportunity played terms work
He played very well and did good work at both ends, there were no negative comments. Is the work done? By no means. He had an excellent opportunity to show himself where he is (in terms of career development) and what he can do.
counted game good growth guys line played smart
The guys were very good and they had to be. When it counted ? with the game on the line ? they played a real smart game. There was a lot of good growth tonight.
certainly consistency easier hits match reaching type worried
We certainly are able to match that type of play but we didn't do it with enough consistency. Too often we're worried about reaching in. Sometimes hits are the easier play to make.
advantage couple match night physical played took
We didn't match their intensity. Any night we don't compete, I'm disappointed. They played awfully physical and took advantage of a couple of our miscues.
allow guy level
You allow a guy at this level more time, more space, and he'll be able to make a play. That's the whole thing: don't give that guy the time.
brought certainly difficult forth physical wish
We had a lot of jam, some physical play we wish we'd brought forth on other nights. It certainly made it difficult for them.
That's the kind of desperation we have to have.
key morning obvious players talked took word
That's the key word right there, desperation. It was used this morning and it was used tonight. It was obvious it was talked about by the players and they took it to heart.
caught eye impressed quite time training
I was quite impressed at that training camp. He caught your eye every time he's out there on the ice. He made things happen.
