call played spade
Let's call a spade a spade. Their goalie played very well.
complete game ok played second third
We played OK at first. In the second we got away from our game and in the third we couldn't complete a pass.
known played
That's his job. He played solid, and historically that's what he's known for.
average either last maybe middle played playoffs year
Our goaltending has been average and that's maybe been generous. With Adam, even in the minors last year he played very well -- he put us in the playoffs -- but there was no in-between. He was either outstanding or awful. There was no middle ground.
bad played until
He had bad positioning with his stick, but up until then he'd played well.
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.
game needed played solid
He played a solid game and was there when we needed him.
advantage far game puck took turned
We turned over the puck far too much. They took advantage of their opportunities. We had the game on our stick, but we didn't finish.
average awesome below kid league thrown tonight win
I've said it before: You're not going to win in this league with average or below-average goaltending. Tonight it was below average. But Crawford was awesome for a kid that was thrown in there.
area ice left remind stock wide
It was to remind them what professionalism is about. The first one was a stock 2-on-2, and the second, we left the most important area on the ice wide open.
andy
Andy was OK. He was better than he was.
andy battle
Andy wasn't happy, but that's the way it goes. He'll battle back. He's battled through things before, and he'll battle through this.
bury checks finishes plays
Ellison's come on as of late. Bourque's a goal-scorer. He finishes his checks and plays hard, but when he has an opportunity, he'll bury it.
call fine situation
There's such a fine line. It's a little risky, but we'll make the call through how he practices. There's no right situation for him.
