certainly chemistry forward groups might point scared written
We haven't had much chemistry in our forward groups this year. Certainly at this point nothing is written in stone. Once we get rolling, if we think something else might fit, we won't be scared to make any changes.
camp decisions far good
We still have some decisions to make. So far it's been a very good camp for us.
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.
chances game liked quality tight
It was tight and intense. I liked that we got quality chances because we didn't get those in Game 2.
egg lay paper ready throughout tough weighs
It weighs on me why we weren't ready to go, because on paper that was a big game. To go out and lay an egg like that is tough to take. We just didn't play well throughout the lineup.
good needed played third until
I didn't think we played well, especially in the first period. I don't think we really played well until the third period. ... We were good in spurts, but there is a lot of things that needed to be better.
against eight five game played playoff second settled
I'll take the eight any day, the five against I don't like so much. We made too many big mistakes, but I think that comes with playoff jitters. I thought we settled into the game and played better in the second period.
definitely games hard played power ton
In all the games we've played there have been a ton of penalties. We're definitely not underestimating the need to get better on the power play. It's something we're working hard on every day.
confidence create few last level reached scoring speed starting
I never even thought about it. He was getting chances, and now he's reached another level of confidence in the last few games. He's starting to use his speed to create even more scoring chances.
against average expect fully guys hard luxury ready regroup score seem work
I fully expect that we will regroup and be ready to play against Everett. We don't have the luxury of having guys who can score even when they are having an average performance. We seem to have to work hard for every goal.
excellent few games johnson last
In the last few games Johnson have been excellent with his grittiness and passion. He's really impacted the last few games.
extra happen liked played
I liked the way we played. We wanted the extra point, but we really played pretty well. We made some mistakes, but they are going to happen sometimes in hockey.
fix liked played start
I liked our start and our finish, and we can fix the way we played in-between. I really liked the way we played with desperation once we got to that point.
breathe concerned good middle mind sigh start sure
In the back of my mind I was a little concerned about a letdown because you can breathe a sigh of relief. I'm not sure if that's what happened, but we had a very good start and then didn't play well in the middle of that game.
