He felt really uncomfortable so we decided not to dress him.
blue came finally moments shots
He may not have been in the blue when the shots finally came in, but there were moments when he was in the blue paint.
angles blue cut extend finally moments net portion shots
He may not have been in the blue (paint) when the shots finally came, but there were moments when he was in the blue paint. And as a goaltender, there's no way that you're going to be able to come out and cut down angles and take away a portion of the net if you're not able to extend yourself.
chance days few game gets remains situation whether
He may be around for a few days just to give us a chance to do that. Whether that gets him into a game situation remains to be seen.
against explain game good guys kevin maybe played problem start
Henrik played fine, I have no problem with that at all, but Kevin had a really good game against these guys to start the season. Those are those intangibles that I have the right to use and maybe not even explain if I don't feel like it.
awe good hope kitchen respond seem sink test throw
Henrik doesn't seem to be in awe of any opponent. If I know Hitch, they'll be ready. It's a good test for us. I hope they throw the kitchen sink at us and that we're able to respond to it.

He nailed the big one. We believe we have the goaltending that can seal the deal.

He nailed the big one. The question was, can he rise to the big game? And he did.

We're preparing for a team we love to play and who loves to play us. My feeling is we'll be much better.

Get your nose dirtier. There is a price to be paid for hanging in there and getting opportunities.

I don't think you ever hang that responsibility on a rookie. He's one of the ways by which we can get ourselves going.

He wants to play and he feels responsible for this team and where it's going. He wants to be the guy that leads them.
badly certainly enjoy motivates special takes thanks wants
He wants badly to win. He wants everyone to enjoy something very special with his help. Not thanks to him, but certainly with his help. I think that really motivates him. He takes this very seriously.
built care coached league past puck sure taking teams
There are teams in the league and teams I've coached in the past for which the puck is inconsequential - we're not really built that way. We want the puck as much as we can. We want to make sure we are the ones taking care of it, not Pittsburgh.
