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.
defend ended great job knew leads score time
We knew they were going to come at us hard, and you have to be able to defend leads at this time of the season. We didn't do that, but Kirby did a great job to score what ended up being the game-winning goal.
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.
huge led mistake period second third
(That goal) was huge for us because of the circumstances in the game. It's better to get that third because we make a mistake in the third period that led to their second score.
confidence fine hockey left line lots quite time walk
There's time for things to happen, still lots of hockey left to play. But there's a fine line between confidence and arrogance, and we've been able to walk that line quite well.
competing easy game results
It's not about who were playing. It's up to us. We haven't had an easy game all year. We're competing on a nightly basis. We now have to get the results for that competition.
coach
I'm a coach, and I wanted to coach at the professional level.
came fresh game hard omaha
It's important not to get frustrated, and I really don't think we came into this game that way. We just wanted to get a fresh start, but Omaha comes at you hard here.
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.
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.
early losing stretch won
Early in the season, we won this kind of game, but we're in a stretch where we're losing them and have to get back on track.
blood deserved draw game home huge playoffs sure time toughest win year
The toughest game to win in the playoffs is your first home game. And I'm not sure we even deserved to win the game. But it's a huge win, because every win at this time of the year is big. To draw first blood is really important for us.
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.
positive watching win
A win is a win. We're not exited about watching it, but we got the two points. Now we need to take the positive as much as we can as we go to Milwaukee.
