dictate exciting forward great happened looking personally proud season summer
We were looking forward to the season and we had a lot to be proud of in Beaumont. We had a great summer of recruiting. That part was exciting for me personally and professionally, but I can't dictate what happened in Texas.
accept bring closer directions learn
We have to learn something from today. Everybody?s going to go in different directions right now, because of how they?re going to accept this loss. But it has to bring us closer together.
dust everybody hockey nowhere ourselves people quicker running start
We have nowhere to go but up. Everybody realizes that. The quicker we dust ourselves off and start running again, the better our hockey team?s going to be. Are people (ticked) off? Yeah, they?re pretty (ticked) off.
build chris four lines three top
Our top three lines were going. Chris Pittman should have had four goals. We have to build off what we did well. When they do play the system, they look pretty good.
bull horns proud took
He took the bull by the horns today. We?re proud of the way he played.
actions asking body entire guys hockey language practice questions
Their body language would have to be different. You still have guys asking questions in a 6-2 hockey game. They?re being men. I have to practice the same thing that I?m preaching, too. There has to be accountability for our actions -- myself and our entire club.
eliminate soft
Can?t give up soft goals. Ever. There?s always one a game. We have to eliminate those.
forward keeping looking options
I'm looking forward to keeping my options open.
added decision dressing pressure source talked urgency
It should put added pressure on them. The source of urgency has to come from the decision maker, in me, and it also has to come from within, the dressing room. That urgency has to be addressed and solidified. Not just talked about, but done.
allowed best concern hurt players stress
It?s a concern of his, because he?s never been hurt like this before. If that stress is there every day, and it?s not being allowed to go away ..he?s doing the best he can. You have to give players like that credit.
relief sigh small stepping stone
There?s not a big sigh of relief now that we?re in (the playoffs). It?s just another small stepping stone of where we want to be.
coming goal precious score seconds third three took work worried
You score an empty-net goal and it?s 5-2, it should be done. But they get a third goal. That?s the part that worried me coming into (Sunday). We thought we just did enough. You have to work 60 minutes. We took some things for granted. We were three seconds away from getting a point, and it was a precious point.
