against dominate guys hide maybe nice past people specific sure
It's nice if we don't have to hide Christian, just play him against specific people or make sure he doesn't go out against guys in the past that maybe he was intimidated to play against or who would plain-old dominate him. I don't feel that way anymore.
caused cheat maybe neutral rarely talked
It's something we actually talked about with the linesman. They cheat on every face-off, and they killed us the other night. I don't know, maybe having said that caused them (the referees to make the call). But it is a penalty. You rarely ever see that one called in the neutral zone.
energy looked maintained ours third
It looked like we did not have much energy tonight. (Phoenix) maintained their energy while ours pretty much was sapped by the third period.
acts belongs certainly great kids stevie
It's great that kids like Stevie are contributing. He certainly acts like he belongs here.
build clear front hard move people tackle tried work
It's hard for the defensemen to clear people when you can't tackle them in front of the net. You can still play defense, but you have to work much harder. You have to move your feet, and defensemen have to be mobile, which is how we tried to build our team.
came cap couple feather hours huge sixth vancouver
It's huge to get that out of the way. All we really do is get to think about it for a couple hours here and play Vancouver again. If we could get sixth or even fifth, that would be a real feather in our cap considering where we came from.
casual gave gotten pay puck second talked third
It was a play where we could have gotten the puck and we didn't. We were casual and they made us pay for it. We talked about that between the second and the third periods. We just gave them life.
address happened move tonight
We just keep on battling. What happened tonight shouldn't. We'll address it and move forward.
behind establish fall football game sustain test
You have a game plan. Not like a football game, but an idea of how you want to play, you establish it, and that's always the test when you fall behind early, to see if you can sustain what's been successful. That's kind of a test for us, to play as well as we did for 60 minutes.
chance draw good pace penalties pushed talked wide
We talked if we pushed the pace and cycled them and go wide on the defense, there was a good chance we would draw penalties and we did.
bad game halfway happens points seem team turning
We've had now for us kind of turning points where we could have put the other team down two halfway through the game and we just missed. At some point something bad happens and we don't really seem to respond.
dangerous five goals picked plays power since teams threaten tonight
Tonight was kind of an anomaly. You're not going to threaten teams with five power play goals. Since we picked up Joe, though, we've had one of the most dangerous power plays in the league.
five guys seemed six tonight
Tonight it seemed like we had five or six guys missing.
point
At this point in the season, that is inexcusable.
