few good nights
There have been very few nights where he hasn't been a pretty good player, and other nights, he's been spectacular.
good happen puts shoot telling
I think he's a little deceiving, because sometimes he doesn't shoot as often as he should. I've been telling him to shoot more, because good things happen when he puts it on net.
best decision doctors good gut rest
He was able to gut it out for the rest of the period, and we got a good look at it after. The doctors made the decision that it wasn't the best thing for him to play at that point.
good puck rush supposed
Stokes made a very good play and jumped into the rush like you're supposed to do there. He got the puck and put it where he had to put it.
against good matter playing worried
It's always going to be different on the road. But are we worried about it? No more than we would be if we were playing them back home. They are a good team, and we are going to have to play well against them no matter where we play.
fact five good guys individual obviously playing position recognize success team tribute
It's obviously a tribute to those five players, I think they are all very deserving. It's a tribute to the team as well. You're not going to have success as an individual without having good teammates. I think they all will recognize the fact that they are in this position because of the guys they are playing with, and where the team is as well.
ahead bit came good moved puck relaxed
After we went ahead 5-2, we relaxed a little bit and they came on. They moved the puck real good and made some things happen, but we were better in the third.
goal lead minds played turned
We got lazy. Once we got the power-play goal, our minds turned off. Again. Once it was down to a one goal lead we played better, but under these circumstances we can't be put in that position.
finish race scoring seemed
Those two right from day one seemed to jell offensively. For Erik and Kirby to finish one and two in the scoring race is great.
case chipping
When we've been successful, we've had everyone chipping in, and that was the case tonight. It's big for us to get everyone chipping in.
games goal key knew lead second tie tonight took whoever wind worked
We wanted to get this game, but it was one of those games where we knew whoever got the lead was going to win. Tonight we never got the lead. The key goal was their second goal. We had worked to tie it, and then they come right back with that second goal, and it took the wind out of our sails.
bit breaks luck needed previous tonight
Tonight we got some breaks around the net, which I thought was really important. We hadn't been getting those in the previous games. Tonight we got a little bit of luck and we needed it.
against bit friday happen prepared puck rebounds trying
On Friday against Iowa, I think we were just trying to be too cute. Tonight, I think we were a little bit more prepared to get the puck to the net, and when you do that, you get rebounds and can make things happen that way.
easy great job knew opportunity presented time
When this opportunity presented itself, there was no hesitation. I knew this was what I wanted to do. I had a great job where I was, but it was time for a new challenge. It was easy to leave. I jumped at the chance.
