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.
thinking work
That's the positive, we're not going in thinking it's automatic. We're going to have to work for those wins.
bit clock defensive effective ready scoreboard smart squash understand works
I think he's a lot more ready offensively than he was, but I still get on him about defensive lapses. There's a little bit Riverboat Gambler, which makes him effective offensively so you don't want to squash that too much. But you try to make him understand how the scoreboard works and the clock and how you have to make smart plays.
ice players step work
The players have to step up on the ice and play. They have to work as a group.
break certainly five games great last potential signs six work
It's kind of like a mustang or stallion that you have to break -- you see all this potential but it's kind of wild. I think he is still a work in progress, but he's certainly showed a lot of great signs the last five or six games he's played.
build clear front hard move people tackle tried work
It's hard for the defensemen to clear people when you can't tackle them in front of the net. You can still play defense, but you have to work much harder. You have to move your feet, and defensemen have to be mobile, which is how we tried to build our team.
ahead bit control feeling games gotten knowing somewhere totally work
We've still got a lot of work ahead of us, but we're going into games now feeling a little bit different knowing we've gotten somewhere and we're totally in control of our own destiny.
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.
accomplish arkansas hard hard-work result schools six teachers work
This is a result of hard work from teachers and administrators. Being one of the six schools in Arkansas to accomplish this is exciting.
basically cynic goals grind joe might pass playing score third truth work
A cynic might say he's profiting from playing with Joe Thornton, and there's some truth to that, but he did score 28 goals without a pass from Joe Thornton two years ago. And he basically was playing on a grind line, a third line, doing a lot of the work himself.
clicking job power worked
They worked really hard. It was a battle. Fortunately, our power play was clicking and we got the job done.
basically fun ice looks missed played player sees wants works
He basically hasn't played in two years and it looks like he hasn't missed a beat. He wants the puck, sees the ice well, works hard. It's fun to see a player that young so detailed.
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.
effort guys hard proud throughout worked
The guys really worked hard from the get-go. Even when Dallas) scored, I didn't see them flinch. I'm really proud of the effort throughout the line-up.
