hurt puck quick support
That was the one thing that really hurt us. It's about quick puck movement, support and speed.
almost baggage series shift work
I don't see us pressing, I don't see us having psychological baggage in our room. We have to work our way back in this series almost a shift at a time.
call fact honest huge matter maybe obligation special year
I don't want to call it nervous, maybe a little apprehensive. They just feel this huge obligation to be something real special this year when the fact of the matter is the only thing that's made us special is just hard, honest work.
easy kevin knows move ready winning wins
This is all about winning here. No one knows that better than Kevin Weekes. He's made it easy on me ... Kevin will be ready to play, then we'll move on and get our wins with him, too.
complete good hurt played power
You know, our power play really hurt us (by going 0-for-9 Wednesday) night, but other than that, I thought we played a pretty good game. Tonight, I thought we played a more complete game.
chosen deal kevin nature pick reasons sorts year
You can pick all sorts of reasons out why we're doing all right this year and I can tell you Kevin Weekes has really contributed to that whole thing by the nature of how he's chosen to deal with the situation.
admirable choice elevate point
If he can elevate to the point where we have no choice, then it's possible. If he comes in and does an admirable job, then probably not.
high repertoire shot slap
If he's going to dress, then I have high expectations. He can shoot. He may not be able to do the one-timer thing or the slap shot but that's never really been a part of his repertoire anyway.
chance earlier expectation felt happening reasonable year
I felt we had a reasonable chance of making the playoffs. Earlier in the year when this (success) was happening to us, it was pretty neat. We have an expectation now.
kid
If I hadn't scouted this kid in juniors, I'd probably be a little more skeptical.
along kid scouts
If I hadn't scouted this kid along with our other scouts when he was in juniors, I'd probably be a little more skeptical. But he's such a competitor.
decisions jump penalty poor pressured puck
I don't think that we pressured well in our own end. I thought we made poor decisions on our penalty kill as to when to jump and when not to jump in and pressure the puck carrier.
bench care enjoy entire good people
The entire bench understands that these people really care and enjoy a good effort.
game guys kept night second understood worked
The guys really understood the game plan. We worked with them all night long. We kept them to the outside; they didn't get a lot of second chances.
