Right now we are playing good hockey and making a push for the playoffs. I thought the effort was great and we are skating very well.
good great head offensive playing plays quick shot wrist
He's a big offensive threat, he has great vision, and he plays with his head up. He's got that great, quick wrist shot that you can't teach. He's got a good power-play mind-set. ... We just have to keep playing him.
both came fight minutes playing puck sides strong suddenly teams tough
Those things are all about timing. I thought for the first 10 minutes it was tough for both sides to get some shots. Both teams were playing very strong defensively. You have to fight for every inch, and suddenly a puck came loose.
awful bad basically couple games incidents obviously playing rightfully simple thrown
It's two incidents basically a couple of games apart. It's bad timing. We're playing obviously awful right now, so obviously everything is thrown at us and rightfully so. Right now, we're getting what we deserve, it's as simple as this.
allowed beside easily guys illegal known list night people player playing radar sign sit speeding sticks
It's not like one player out of 600 is playing with an illegal stick. The list of guys playing with illegal sticks is pretty known around the league. It's like speeding on the road. You're not allowed to speed, but sit beside the 55-mph sign on I-85 at night and put your radar on it. Many people will easily go over.
generate matter penalties percentage playing plays power year
It's a matter of playing our game. Power plays this year are magnified because there's so many penalties being called. In all the games, you're going to get some power plays if you skate. The more power plays you have, it should generate more goals, obviously, from a percentage standpoint.
far following good playing report room scouting
We're playing as good as we can. But we have some room to go as far as following the scouting report . . . recognizing the shooters, that kind of scenario.
arm easy guys period playing second sitting soon split stick talk transition video watch
We had some guys that were playing their first game. There's a transition period and we just have to get used to the new application. You have to think out there because as soon as you get your stick up or get your arm out you're going to be sitting in the (penalty) box. It's easy to talk about and it's easy to watch it on video but once you're on the ice, you only get a split second to think about it.
chance confidence definitely easy giving growing michael morning players playing reward
I said this morning that in this business, you have to reward the players that are playing well, and Michael Garnett is definitely giving us a chance to win. It's pretty easy to say his confidence is growing, and our confidence in him is growing also.
asking committed defensive elite playing wants
He's committed and he wants to get better on the defensive side. I want him to be very responsible. I'm asking a lot out of a 20-year-old kid, but on the other hand, he's playing like an elite player. And he is an elite player.
dressing guys playing room seeing within
We're playing with passion. These guys never quit. We're seeing within our dressing room guys committed, playing sick, and hurt.
calves count difficult playing tough
It's really tough to count them this year. They're all out mulling around and the calves are playing together. So it's difficult to tell who's who, because there are calves all over the place.
core group strong
These are all part of a real strong core group of kids.
cut
If we could cut down on our errors, we'd be fine.
