both good
It was a good goaltender battle. Both goalies made exceptional saves.
good seemed today
It's improving. It's encouraging, after today at least, it seemed like he had some good treatment.
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.
good hung
We hung in with them. That's not good enough. We don't want to 'hang in' with anybody. We want to win.
beat behind best game good passed people puck transition trap
We had a good transition game and passed the puck up quickly. We got the puck behind people and deep. The best way to beat the trap is not let it set up.
dictate good habits ice manage minutes playing start
Even if we were playing Ottawa, we need a good start. We need good starts. We need to get back to good habits about how we start our games. How we manage the puck, how we manage the ice those first six, eight, 10 minutes is important. And we have to dictate the terms.
believe good hope night ourselves point shot sure teams winning
Some teams aren't sure they can win. Some teams hope they can win, and some teams know, not just that they can win, but that they're going to win. I'm not sure we're there yet, but we really believe that every night we do give ourselves a real good shot at winning the game. That's part of the evolution. I'd like to get to the point where we know we can win.
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.
above beyond call defend desire duty gone good guys habits hockey honest proudly work
Let's be honest about this hockey club, gang: These guys have gone above and beyond the call of duty from Day One. One thing we can proudly do is defend this team's good intentions, their work habits and their desire to win.
chance chose clearly fighting given good guys hockey lost needed ourselves period players playing poise saw second selfish simple talked team themselves win
It's a team that lost its poise and it's composure, simple as that. We clearly talked about what needed to be done in the second period and if we would have given ourselves a fighting chance by playing even-up hockey, there's a good chance we win the hockey game. We lost our composure, saw some selfish hockey, some undisciplined players and some guys who chose to think of themselves before their teammates.
advantage beat behind biggest created good hockey ourselves reference team
It's a reference point, that's probably the biggest advantage we created for ourselves out of tonight. We did come from behind to beat a real good hockey team and we have to use that for what it's worth.
affect critical deception game good outlet people poise spend time transition
It may affect our transition game. He's got really good poise with the puck, he's got good deception where he can look people off and then make the appropriate little outlet pass. Those are real critical to our transition game and how much time we spend in our own end.
create game good hard net people point traffic whoever wins
They take good point shots, create traffic at the net and they're hard people to move. Whoever wins the specialty-team game should win the game tonight.
against game good hockey hunch jersey kevin last played playing sort
We're sort of playing a hunch as much as anything. He's played New Jersey well, and our last good game of hockey was here against them with Kevin in goal, so I don't think that is unreasonable at all.
