best game goes happens obviously
I don't know. It obviously was an accident, but you never know. He's their best player. We'll see what happens as the game goes along, but I really haven't thought about it too much.
best last played teams
They're one of the best teams in the league, and we played them real well last time. If we can do that again, hopefully, we'll have the same result.
best prospects
They say he's one of the best goalie prospects ever. He's awesome.
best four imagine league players
He's one of the best players in the league right now, at 18. You can only imagine what he'll be like four years down the road.
building core guys positives saying
You can look at the positives and say we were building something at the end of the year. With the core of guys here, you can see a future. I know they've been saying that around here for a while, but it's pretty obvious.
hear mind thinking
Maybe, they were thinking about it a little bit. I haven't thought too much about it, but you read about it and hear about it. So, it's going to be on your mind a little bit.
cool
No one's said anything yet. I don't know what's going on. But it would be pretty cool to play for a Calder Cup.
legs lift mean spear stick
I went to put my stick between his legs and lift his stick up, but I just got him too high. I didn't mean to spear him. It was just an accident.
care customers
We've got to take care of the customers we have.
great played
We just didn't play well in the first two periods. We played great in the third. If we would have just done it all game, we probably would have won.
gave good happy next shots
We gave up a lot of shots, but we did a lot of good things, too. We're happy to get a win. And hopefully, we won't give up as many shots next time.
both hope hopefully improving obvious played
I hope so. It's pretty obvious he played well. Hopefully both of us can keep improving together.
good great practice score surprised
In practice, you see him score a lot on breakaways. He's got a great shot. He's got real good hands, so I wasn't surprised at all.
few good instead lead learn past playing points
It was good to get a point. Unfortunately, we couldn't get the win. But we battled back like we have the past few games. We just have to try to get the two points and learn how to play with the lead instead of playing from behind.
