hanging nose paid price
Get your nose dirtier. There is a price to be paid for hanging in there and getting opportunities.
hang ourselves responsibility ways
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.
bit certainly continue delivered develop good gotten happen hockey minutes needed point watching work
Certainly he delivered what he needed to do for us from that point of view. I'd like to have gotten him a little bit more minutes and that'll happen in the future. Just watching his game, he's got good hockey sense. We'll continue to work with him . . . and develop him even further.
But there's not much to like about the game.
chance looking ourselves win
If we give ourselves a chance 5-on-5, we'll get that win we're looking for. If we don't, it's short.
chance exactly hands looking ourselves series win
If we're going to win this series anyway, with or without Jagr, we have to have all hands on deck. If we give ourselves a chance 5-on-5, we'll get exactly what we're looking for. If we don't, it's short.
advantage anybody describe fine others seem soon
I'd just as soon describe it the way it is but I think, at the same time, I don't want to give anybody any kind of advantage with others that others don't seem to share. If those are the rules, that's fine with me.
again saw watch
I'd like to watch this over again to see if what I saw was real.
becomes benefit box clear dealing doubt happy incapable nor obviously ourselves parade penalty pressure situations stay suggest types
Obviously the penalty parade would suggest I'm not completely happy at all, nor should (the players) be. There's no benefit of the doubt in the playoffs. You're in the big parade now and you've got to participate. It becomes obviously clear we're incapable of dealing with the pressure of these types of situations well enough to stay out of the penalty box and give ourselves a chance.
beat devils jersey penalty
One thing I'm sure, we're not going to beat the New Jersey Devils from the penalty box.
certainly far four games mission race
Mission important and possible. It's a race to four games and they've only got three. As far as I'm concerned, we can certainly do that.
figuring full hard last maybe nearly ourselves tonight work
Maybe we got too full of ourselves after the last game, figuring we'd arrived. It's not about arriving. It's about working to get somewhere. And we didn't work tonight - not nearly as hard as we have to.
angry blow challenge figured full game last maybe ourselves respond terrific
Maybe we got too full of ourselves after the last game and figured we had arrived. I'm not going to blow a gasket, but I'm angry that we didn't respond to a really terrific challenge for us.
attached certainly execute game guess remains whether
My guess is we'll certainly be emotionally attached to the game like we should. Whether or not we execute in a way we want remains to be seen.
