average awful game lucrative puck skilled transition turn
We really didn't see their transition game other than the first part of the first period. Their forwards are so skilled that they can really turn something very average into something that's very lucrative in an awful hurry. We managed the puck pretty well tonight.
I just want to see him play somewhere.
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.
minimize similar train
It's very similar here. You've got to minimize the train wrecks.
believe consistent develop everybody game gets hope life player
It'll be a new lease on life for Anton. I hope he gets consistent with his game and has a real long career. I still believe Anton will develop into the player everybody thought he would.
four minimum six
It'll be a minimum of four to six weeks. He's got a dislocation.
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.
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.
corey eventually gets practice
Eventually Corey will get a game. Each day at practice he gets a little more comfortable.
caught coming consistent elevate throughout training
Throughout training camp, they've been our most consistent defensemen. Barker, he's coming out of junior. I'd like to see him elevate his assertiveness. He does everything at one speed, and I think he's finding, as more and more of the regulars are playing, he's caught in between sometimes.
bad behind blue coming difficult injury lose starting
You feel bad for the guy. It's difficult coming back from one injury and then starting out with another. When we lose him, we lose steadiness behind our blue line.
