areas both concerned game generally guard offensive team time
We're not perfect, but there are a lot of areas in our game that are much improved. We generally aren't a high-powered offensive team, so we have to be concerned in both ends. At this time of year, when every team has a lot to play for, you can't let your guard down.
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.
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.
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.
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.
both early edge good great key pay played player start took
I think we both played hard. Dubinsky is a great player and he made us pay early and that took the edge off what was a good start for us. We played well. We just had some key breakdowns.
both chris elite entire fun ice level player playing second
He is getting back to the level of a really elite player in this league. He and Chris Durand have both been playing very well for us. If we can get our entire lineup on the ice and get things going in the right direction, it's going to be a fun second half.
hold lead
When you have a three-goal lead it should hold up in any building. We've got no excuses.
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.
ahead aware chasing hand pack separate talk teams tight win
We're very aware of the standings. We talk on one hand about chasing down the teams ahead of us, but it's so tight that you have to be aware of who's nipping at your heels. The only way to separate yourself from the pack is to win your own games.
best full move nice playing position ready team time
We feel like we're in a position to be really playing our best at the right time of the year. It's nice to have a full team on the ice and we're ready to move forward.
matter
At this point, it doesn't matter who we're playing. We need to get some points.
