cheering goals guys joe position power provided richard scoring title trying win
The right guys are scoring for us. I'm cheering for Joe to win the scoring title and for Cheech to win the goals title, the Richard Trophy. Provided it doesn't take away from what we're trying to do to win, I'll do everything in my power to put them in the position to succeed.
giving goals last offense third three
I didn't like the way we were giving up goals in the third period. We need to show more poise, but our offense was there as it has been for the last three games.
either goals happen open seen stepped stop
I didn't like either one of those goals. I've seen this happen before, the floodgates open so I stepped in to try and stop it.
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.
behind caught climb goals hill minutes people points
We've been like umpteen points behind (in the standings) and caught people so two goals down in the first 10 minutes is not that big a hill to climb for us.
expect four goals job joe jump score sit three
We can't sit back and expect Joe to score three or four goals and we jump on his back. He has to do his job and we have to do our job.
goals happen hoping picked since trade
We're 3-0 and scored 15 goals since we picked up Thornton. It's kind of nice, the things you were hoping would happen with the trade have.
basically cynic goals grind joe might pass playing score third truth work
A cynic might say he's profiting from playing with Joe Thornton, and there's some truth to that, but he did score 28 goals without a pass from Joe Thornton two years ago. And he basically was playing on a grind line, a third line, doing a lot of the work himself.
along drawing drawn four goals huge leader room setting share somebody winning
Somebody will say he only had four assists, but they were huge -- setting up winning goals, making big plays, drawing penalties. He could have drawn about 10 more penalties. And he's a leader in the room along with Patty, they share that responsibility.
goals
He's going to be a 35-40 goals scorer.
add goals guys handle leadership left mature provided stability time
If you look at the guys who left and add up the goals they scored, it really wasn't very many. They provided leadership and stability in the room, and now it's time for other guys to have that responsibility, because they're mature enough to handle it.
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.
