anybody blame games hockey three win
It's three games to one. We've got to win some hockey games. To blame anybody right now, it's too late.
disaster involved stretch toughest
It's the toughest stretch I've been involved with in all the years I've played. It's just a disaster right now.
practice
Then we just went right into scrimmaging with the practice. It was really intense, very organized.
bit goals nice sound though
It was nice the way we did it getting some goals in the first period. Even though we let them in a little bit in the second, we buckled down in the third. So, overall, it was a great, sound game.
changes happen last stock team whatever year
No more this year than they have the last four, ... It's the same every year. I don't really put a lot of stock in it right now. Whatever is going to happen is a day-to-day thing in an organization like ours. We're a young team and if we are winning, things will be good. But if we're not, changes will probably be made. It's all part of the business.
games hand instead losing win
It's very, very frustrating but on the other hand we have to find a way to win those one-goal games instead of losing them.

Every night you have a new opportunity and tonight was nice just to put some of that other stuff behind us.
compete competition everybody far fun harder role stuff wants
Everybody wants to play. It's fun when you are playing, and when you're not, you have to find a role and find some way to contribute. As far as competition goes, you compete every day with yourself probably harder than anybody, so the other stuff is just part of it.
confidence good guy team
It's always a good feeling. You want to contribute, you want to be a guy your team has confidence in. When you can go out there and do the job, that's why you play.
days games good problem start
It's good because after two days or so, you start to feel comfortable again. So it shouldn't be a problem when the games start.
case enthusiasm fun games hanging key overall played saves sit sound team three total watch
It's been a total team effort, ... In the three games I've had to make some saves at key times, but overall we've played very solid. It's actually fun to sit back there and watch our team. We've played with a lot of enthusiasm and speed, and we've played pretty sound all over the ice. It hasn't been a case of us hanging on, we've played pretty strong.
came seem sit wait
They came out strong. They didn't seem to sit back and wait and see what was going to happen.
finely machine run
It's a finely tuned machine around here, the way they run camp,
