focus handling mistakes people puck
We don't want him handling the puck as much as he does, and yet he does and he makes mistakes like he did. His focus has got to be on the puck and not what other people are doing.
believe care focused good gotten illusion players process team truly understand winning
You just never know what a preseason means. Is it an illusion or reality? I truly believe we're a good team and I think if we've gotten anything out of the preseason, it's the process you go about, and winning will take care of itself. Our players understand that and they're focused on doing things right.
focused manages penalties penalty playing power sure takes team
We've got to make sure we're focused and on-board with our penalty kill because we're playing a team right now that takes a lot of penalties and manages to get a lot of power plays.
caught focus forget games played points
We've played all these (recent) games as if they're must-win games. That being said, you can't get too caught up with the focus being two points that you forget about the process.
against best focus games huge seem vancouver win
The best thing we can do is win all our games, then you don't even have to bother. Our focus right now has to be on Colorado, but those two games against Vancouver right now are huge as well as the game in L.A. It's the L.A. and Vancouver games that seem to have the most importance.
details easier fast few focus good hard knew lead start
It's hard to play with a 5-1 lead and we let a few things slide, but the focus was on details and getting off to a good start. We knew if we got off to a fast start we could make it easier on ourselves.
couple face focus game half hard maintain
It's a hard game for him because the first half of the game, he only had a couple situations, but really he didn't face any rubber. That's hard for a goalie to maintain his focus and composure, but he did.
carried everybody finish focused game goal good hardest high job moment next run table
We're in pretty good shape. We want to finish as high as we can. Our goal is to run the table here. The hardest game is always the next one that you play. My job is to keep everybody focused and in the moment and not get too carried away with ourselves.
certainly focus helped obviously puck side wrong
It certainly helped us to get back the focus we needed. We were set up on the wrong side of the ice, and we obviously want to get the puck in Joe's hands.
best both focused games patty sides year
Patty had one of his best games of the year on both sides of the puck. He was very focused throughout.
happens point puck season stick
We had the puck on our stick and didn't get it out of the zone. And when something like that happens at this point of the season it's inexcusable.
hung job
We hung in there and got the job done.
expected flat period second signal
We expected that in the first period and I thought we responded. I just didn't think that would signal the flat second period we had. We were awful.
aware chart stand team
We're very aware, we've got a chart up. I try to make everyone on the team aware of where we stand and what we have to do to make the playoffs.
