click clicked might quickly
It's 82 games. Sometimes it might not click as quickly or as well as you want it to, or sometimes not at all. For our team, we've clicked more than we haven't . . .
It was real intense. It was a hard-working, hard-hitting game.
best bring intense terrific
It was a terrific game. It was intense enough to bring out the best in everyone.
chosen circle explain few games last stake time
It's time to circle the wagons and explain to everyone we must be better. I'm disappointed in what we have chosen to do here in the last few games and I don't like that. There's a lot at stake here.
help players team
I want to be the team we were before the (Olympic) break. Additions or not, I want us to be that team. If we're that team, then these two players really help us a lot. If not, then they'll struggle.
good mean quite success
It (this season) is a good springboard here, but it doesn't mean we'll have the same success -- it doesn't mean we'll have the same team. We could be younger, quite honestly.
It (the injury) is uncomfortable enough where it would be day-to-day. He's a little uncomfortable and there's pain.
good seemed today
It's improving. It's encouraging, after today at least, it seemed like he had some good treatment.
cheating pass trying
It's cheating. It's trying to make the 60-foot pass and not collaborating on anything that has to be done.
arguably best continue job matter regardless rink road team venue
It's a matter of can we play on the road with what could arguably be the best team in the league. Can we go into their rink and continue to play the way we have to play regardless of the venue and get the job done? We'll see.
bargain certainly exciting happy hope
It's an exciting time, obviously, I think for everyone. We hope to live up to our end of the bargain and make it exciting for our fans. But certainly we're happy to be back.
absolutely beam helpful less press run sum
It'll be helpful to get to know ... can he run the table? Can he play a seven-game series? Does he play when he's absolutely on the beam or does he press too much to where he's less than the sum of his parts?
attention bad healing opportunity pay rest small
It's bad enough to rest him but he could play. It's a small fracture in there but it's something we have to pay attention to and take an opportunity to give him some healing rest.
build character game ground hard level played symbolic team
It's a game to build on. Now we're at ground level and we can keep building. We played hard and showed the character that is symbolic of our team for most of the year.
