against best critical penalties power prevention special teams
Special teams are always critical against Everett. They don't take many penalties and they have the best power play in the league. The best way to kill penalties against Everett is not to take them. Prevention is the key.
character effort happy liked
You're never happy when you lose, but I liked the effort and the character to get back into the game.
both liked pick
We liked both players. We didn't pick up one to get both of them here. We think they're both very intelligent young players.
both confidence good position
We have confidence in both guys. Both have been sharp. We feel like we're in a really good position with our goaltending.
against ahead behind both chance concerned division games looking ourselves playing teams win
We're looking at things realistically. To even give ourselves a chance at the division we know we have to win both games against Everett. We're much more concerned with how we're playing than the teams ahead of us or behind us.
easy good granted gut ice key time
Scott Jackson's an easy gut to take for granted when things are going good because he does everything well. He logs a lot of ice time and he's such a key part of any of our successes.
bad confidence given goals momentum power success
We've scored some big power-play goals that have given us momentum and confidence. We had a very bad power play in the first half, but we've improved, had some success and it's still evolving.
agreed argue blew given net referee whistle
On the explanation given to me, the referee agreed it went into the net but that he blew his whistle first. I couldn't really see it, so there wasn't a lot I could argue about.
calls goals lack mistakes obviously sloppy
We were a little too sloppy in our own end, but there were obviously some calls that didn't go our way. We made a lot of mistakes and there were questionable calls on goals or lack of goals.
camp decisions far good
We still have some decisions to make. So far it's been a very good camp for us.
both edge impact puts records rivalry series start teams zero
Both teams start at zero and it's even going in. I don't think records have much impact on the series. It puts an edge on the series when there's a rivalry between the two teams. But in preparing, there's no difference. It just makes it a little more exciting.
energy game good passion
We just weren't very good in a big game in the standings. It was a very disappointing effort. We didn't play with enough energy or passion tonight.
goal high second
We thought the second goal was a high stick.
constantly force forcing good higher moving pressure skating speed using
We think we're a pretty good skating team, and part of that is forcing turnovers and constantly moving your legs. That's what makes us successful. We've been using our speed to force turnovers and play a higher pressure game.
