excited fault minutes needs patty playing point power
I wanted to get Patty a little more involved. I think he got excited to see he'd be on the point on the power play. He needs to be playing around 20 minutes a game. It was my fault he didn't play more the other night.
create defense forward hesitate patty player smart struggling
You have defense that is struggling to create any kind of offense, so if we need a forward back there, I would never hesitate to put Patty back there. He's a smart player and you could see that tonight.
excited force great patty played point power puck saw taking
Patty played a great game. He was taking the puck to the net, and he was a force. I think he got excited when he saw he was going to be on the point on the power play.
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.
best games patty
Patty had one of his best games of the season.
great job jumping patty reading
Patty did a great job of reading the play and jumping in when he could.
freed opportunity patty people shine trade
You can already see that Patty is freed up a little more. We did give up a lot to get Joe, but this is a trade that's going to give a lot of people an opportunity to shine and do things they haven't done. He's everything I thought he was.
dedicated good happy hard nice worked
I'm really happy for him. He's worked really hard for this. It's nice to see a good person, who is dedicated to the game, on and off the ice, get rewarded.
caused cheat maybe neutral rarely talked
It's something we actually talked about with the linesman. They cheat on every face-off, and they killed us the other night. I don't know, maybe having said that caused them (the referees to make the call). But it is a penalty. You rarely ever see that one called in the neutral zone.
amongst common hard light net red score wants
Each one of them wants to score so bad, they go to the net hard and they live to see the red light go on. That's what's common amongst them all.
along gets
Everyone gets along very well, even the new girls. We try to keep it where everyone is very close.
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.
dangerous happened joe picked plays power since time
That is the first time its ever happened for this franchise. Since we picked up Joe (Thornton), we've had one of the most dangerous power plays in the league.
clicking job power worked
They worked really hard. It was a battle. Fortunately, our power play was clicking and we got the job done.
