along bit bring cloth confidence envelope further goes hope identified level push squeeze sure
We sure hope that we've identified with one thing and that is stability, and the level of, I guess, confidence that goes along with that so you can even push the envelope further and squeeze the cloth a little bit more to bring even more out of people.
afterwards aware certainly felt jim left talking time
He said he felt a little tight. By the time I left the ice, I wasn't aware there was much of a problem. But certainly talking to (trainer) Jim Ramsey afterwards he felt very uncomfortable.
finished maybe smart
He's a smart enough kid. Obviously, he finished up when maybe he shouldn't have.
fits nicely player selfless terrific
He's a terrific young player who fits so nicely into their scheme. He's just a selfless player.
game gone team
We lost, so we're not as good. The game could've gone any way at the end but the more experienced team prevailed.
ahead beat chose devils guys jersey lost penalty selfish sure themselves
We lost our composure, we had some selfish hockey, some undisciplined play, and we had guys that chose to think of themselves ahead of their teammates. One thing we know for sure is we're not going to beat the New Jersey Devils from the penalty box.
composure guys lost selfish themselves thinking
We lost our composure and we were selfish with undisciplined play. Some guys were thinking about themselves before their teammates.

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.
affect coming concerns deal environment event excited games guys home incumbent issue magnitude mental next pinnacle ready sure themselves
The only thing that concerns me will be how our guys will be coming back from the Olympics. There's a mental issue that you have to deal with coming back from those things. These guys expend so much of themselves at this event. It's such a pinnacle at two-thirds of the way through the season. I don't know how that magnitude of an event is going to affect them. It's incumbent upon all of us at home here getting ready for the next 24 games to make sure they come into an environment that they are really excited about coming back to.
guys kevin opportunity wake
Kevin was fine. I thought (the switch) was more an opportunity to wake up 18 guys and make a statement.
game guys hockey kevin managing maybe opportunity ourselves terms wake
Kevin was fine. I thought it was more an opportunity to wake up 18 guys and get ourselves back in the hockey game by doing what we have to do in terms of managing the puck, and maybe give yourself to play 5-on-5 hockey or better.
ask dead kevin
Kevin was dead on the mark. He did everything we could ask of a goaltender.
