along finish gives high obviously playoffs road tough trip
Obviously you want to make the playoffs as a first priority, but along the way you want to finish as high as you can. This road trip gives us a lot of confidence, because they were all tough games.
along finish high obviously playoffs
Obviously making the playoffs is your first priority, but along the way you want to finish as high as you can.
crowded high known point school
We desperately need the space. Our high school, especially, is severely crowded at this point and has been for years. We've known this for a long time.
business definite desert growth high reflection secret
I think that's a definite reflection on the opportunities for business growth in the High Desert. I don't think the High Desert is a secret anymore.
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.
allow control earned finished foot forget gas higher quickly series start turn
They finished higher than us in the standings, they earned home-ice and you never can forget that. If we take our foot off the gas and allow them to start to control the play, they can quickly turn the series around and get home-ice again.
confidence foot harder high hope stays teams
A lot of times, it's harder being one of those teams being chased, your mind-set is different. I just hope our confidence stays high and we keep our foot on the gas.
battling extra kept night plenty points
There is plenty of time. You want the two points in regulation, but we kept battling all night long. We just couldn't find a way to get that extra point earlier.
ice players step work
The players have to step up on the ice and play. They have to work as a group.
gives road tough
This road trip, I think, gives us a lot of confidence. They were all tough games.
job lack people point respect step sure teammates trust trying
There comes a point where we have to have some people step up and play as well as they can and make sure that their teammates aren't trying to do too much. And you have to respect people around you. That's a lack of trust if you don't think other people can do the job that you try to do too much.
good guy lack people point step teammates telling tries trust trying
There comes a point when we have to have some people step up and play as well as you can. That's a lack of trust if you're trying to do too much. If one guy tries to play 1-on-1 hockey, that's telling your teammates they aren't good enough.
jump might quickly team time
We thought they might be a little weary, especially this time of year, and psychologically they can go up or down. You want to jump a team like that as quickly as you can, and we had a lot of energy.
defense looking mental mistake paying picked seeing stay tired understanding
We're not paying attention. Our defense has to stay back and we only had one in position. They picked us apart. A tired mental mistake was made at that point, not looking and not understanding or seeing what you've got off a rush.
