Brad Shaw Hard Quotations

It might be time to see what he does. He made some great saves in the third period. He works extremely hard in practice and he deserves a shot.

We seemed tentative. It did surprise me. I thought we were ready to go. We didn't compete as hard as we should have.

I don't know if we skated through some of the scoring areas as hard as we could have. I think a little more commitment and a little more desire around the net, a little more urgency, maybe would have helped us tonight.

They worked to get into those shooting lanes, they worked to get a body part or a stick in front of the shots. It's how they've had success. They have a ton of skill, but they also work as hard as any team we've seen this year.

He was playing his best hockey of the year. It is a hole and it's a lot of minutes that need to get spread around. Your top-minute guy is the hardest guy to lose.

I didn't think we were ready to play. We got away from things that gave us success the other night. We gave up chances that they didn't have to work very hard for.

Hopefully this is what he needs, a little shot in the arm. He needs to find a way to get success and hard work is a great start.

I just thought they were kind of sleep-walking through the first five or 10 minutes. There were a few things we really wanted to focus on. One of them was driving the net and it's hard to do when someone's going 75 or 85 percent speed effort. I want to make it a habit to practice that way and sort of raise the bar a little bit in that area.

We made it hard on ourselves. I thought we stopped playing there for a while.
