good guys lay safe
We have guys who have good instincts. They know when to lay back and make the safe play.
good guys happen harp shoot
We always harp on our guys - good things happen when you shoot the puck.
certainly earned excel good guys hard notoriety players team thankful toward work
I think each one of them has certainly earned it. The better your team does, the more notoriety you are going to get. The guys who have made the all-star game, they put in the hard work for it, but should be just as thankful toward their teammates. Without good players around you, you don't get to excel like that.
good nice team tomorrow
It's nice right now. But tomorrow will be even more of a challenge. They are a good team and they are going to rebound.
good guys knew locker momentum room stressed
They got the momentum there in the second, but I stressed to our guys that that was as good as we would see them all night. I knew as long as we could get to the locker room at 2-2 we'd be OK.
defenders good guys hooks job scoring year
Your guys that have scored all year should be scoring in the playoffs, too. (Sioux Falls') two big defenders were doing a good job on them with hooks and holds, but they always find a way to score.
close guys looking month room took
Everyone was looking around the room for someone else to do it and someone else doesn't play for our team. I think it took close to a month for some other guys to reassert themselves.
beat best care close great point points team
We've been close (in the standings) all year. I don't care if it's one point or 12 points (Cedar Rapids is) still a great team and we are going to have to be at our best to beat them.
games guys period plays third three time
If we go into the third period down 2-1, I like our chances. But a lot of games come down to two or three plays this time of year, and those guys made them tonight.
creating hard hard-work offense scoring style work
Scoring is two things for us - a byproduct of hard work and a byproduct of how we like to play hockey. We like to play up-tempo, puck-pressure hockey. And creating a lot of offense out of that is part of that style of play. It's a lot of (talent) too.
extra fourth guys line lower output third
That extra output from guys lower in your lineup makes the difference. We have guys on that third or fourth line that can score.
fine kyle player
Kyle is as fine of a player as the league's ever seen.
al captain effort guys hurt john leadership losing number quiet standpoint time whether
I think it hurt us number one from a leadership standpoint because John was our captain and Al . . . was a quiet leader with his effort he'd give every day. It hurt us defensively losing two experienced guys like that. Unfortunately, it coincided with the time we went through a slump. Whether that was part of it or not, I'm not sure.
grown guys solid
We started out very solid back there, then got young real quick. Now our young guys have grown up. I like where we're at right now.
