bucks gave guys heartbeat instant paid
He gave us instant credibility. Those guys are paid big bucks for a reason. They're the heartbeat of a team.
good looked win
He made some good saves. You aren't going to win without good goaltending. He looked a lot calmer to me than he has all year.
move nice penalty save
He made a big save on the first penalty shot. It was a nice move on the second.
adam andy anytime chipping couple goals guys nice played saves score worked
They (Hilbert and Munro) played well. Especially early, Adam made some big saves and it was nice to see Andy get a couple of goals. He's worked hard. Anytime you can get guys like that chipping in goals it helps, when you can score by committee.
feeling felt indicative maybe needed pulled
It was a feeling I had. It wasn't' indicative of the way he was playing. That's not why I pulled him. I felt that maybe we needed something different.
advantage basically earned guy opportunity three took
He basically earned it. Three goalies is a crowd. So something has to be done. I think that he took advantage of his opportunity and it's not like the other guy didn't get an opportunity.
game needed played solid
He played a solid game and was there when we needed him.
asset continues energy front job team throw valuable wing
If he continues to do that, he'll be a valuable asset -- especially on a team like ours. You can throw him up front for a bit, put him at right wing and he'll get some energy going. Then you can throw him in the back, and he'll do the job there.
challenge good looked sharp surprise
He's looked sharp in practice, and he's excited. It'll be a good challenge for him and the team. He'll surprise some people.
curb lead likes rush support
He's like a riverboat gambler. He likes to take chances. We'll have to curb that a little bit. He doesn't have to lead the rush down the ice, just support the first wave.
against difficult element people
He's a one-of-a-kind player. He has an element that is very difficult to put into somebody, and that is he's mean. People don't like to play against him.
I just want to see him play somewhere.
committed difficult game good guarantee playing position success successful together
The first two periods, we were not committed to playing together and to the game plan. You have to be committed to play in this league. That doesn't necessarily guarantee success, but it does put you in a pretty good position for success. The probability of having success increases. But when you're not committed to each other and to a game plan, it's pretty difficult to be successful at this level.
bad horror
You've got to feel bad for the man. This season's been like a horror movie for him.
