control half happy number played scoring took
I'm not happy with the way we played in the first half of the game, but we took control and got a number of scoring opportunities.
advantage created looked pressure sluggish took
They looked sluggish at times and we took advantage of that. And a lot of that had to do with the pressure we created at the right times.
across advantage flew looked sluggish took youth
This was when your youth can be to your advantage, and it was for us. (Tampa Bay) flew across the country, too, but we are the ones who should be used to it. They looked sluggish at times, and we took advantage of that.
continues matt player raises shot stick took type
That shot he took was a cannon. It was on his stick and into the net, unbelievable. Matt Carle continues to improve, to be the type of player that raises a lot of eyebrows.
early penalties pressure took
They took a lot of penalties early because of the pressure we were applying.
advantage casual deserve hard mistake rest second silly took worked
We were just way too casual the whole second period. We never worked hard enough to deserve anything the rest of the period. And they took advantage of every silly little mistake we made. We got what we deserved.
bad hole penalties took
We took two bad penalties that put us in the hole there.
poor power took
We made a poor play on the power play and they took advantage. We could have quit, but we didn't.
bad cost couple penalties took
We took a couple of bad penalties at the end and it cost us big-time.
effort fault played step took
The effort was incredible. I can't fault it. I feel like we played more than well enough to win, but we didn't. We took a step in the right direction.
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.
