chance easy front job second start sticks third traffic unless
We have to get more traffic in front of the net. Those second and third chance opportunities won't come unless we start getting our sticks on some rebounds. But Belfour didn't make our job easy tonight.
adapt apply continues course extra game guys players rules spend time top trend unit unless wear
We are going to have to do something before we really wear out our top guys with all of the power-plays we're now seeing. If this trend continues and you apply that to an 82-game schedule, that extra unit is really going to come in handy, unless of course the players adapt their game to the new rules and spend less time in the box.

We thought we'd have to be patient with him, but we didn't have to wait long. He's played very well.

We really scraped the bottom of the barrel with our short bench. We needed a win to make our week a little happier.
advantage period third took
We got better, and in the third period we took advantage of our opportunities.
concern efforts game hockey minutes ours realize
When you only play 10 minutes of a hockey game, it's not too often you come out of it with a point, ... We need to realize that we are going to need some 60-minute efforts and that has been a concern of ours as of late.
