hung job
We hung in there and got the job done.
chance good job people ran scoring shots
We did a good job and had a lot of people involved. I think they only had one scoring chance when we ran into each other on an entry. But other than that we didn't give up any (quality) shots and that's a real positive.
early energy four game hoping job level needed obvious sink third
We just didn't have the energy level we needed to do the job and it was pretty obvious early on. The only thing I was hoping for was their energy level would sink because it was their third game in four nights, too.
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.
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.
avoid clicking found job ourselves power start talked tonight
We didn't want to start with a 2-0 hole, and we talked about how to avoid that, but we found ourselves in that position. Fortunately, our power play was clicking tonight and got the job done.
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.
defense great job remember shots
You look up and see 40 shots against, but I don't really remember too many of them being grade-A chances. The shots were from the outside, the defense did a great job and our forwards competed like heck.
believe certain experience fear guys job maybe mistake putting tells veteran yeah
As long as you can get the job done and you let those guys know you believe in them by putting them in certain situations, yeah they're going to make a mistake every once in a while. My experience tells me the veteran guy will make mistakes, or maybe won't even try to do something for fear of making a mistake, that's what I like about the young players.
couple few involved job months net reason spent taking wide
He's been shying away from taking pucks, going wide and taking to the net and he did that a few times tonight. For some reason he spent most of the first couple months not being involved and being on the outside. To his credit, he got the job done tonight.
great job jumping patty reading
Patty did a great job of reading the play and jumping in when he could.
clicking job power worked
They worked really hard. It was a battle. Fortunately, our power play was clicking and we got the job done.
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.
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.
