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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

The ship is much easier to access when it's in the water and significant work, like testing the combat systems and running the engines, can be performed in a more efficient and timely fashion.
awful feeling hard hard-work rewarded
It would have been an awful feeling had we not prevailed in overtime. We got rewarded for our hard work.
