although average found good played players score winning
I thought he played an average game. But good players find a way to make a difference, and although he had an average game, he found a way to score the winning goal.
knowing page turned
That was uncharacteristic of him. For me, it's about him knowing we've turned the page on that and that we just want him to use his skills.
bad lucky period second thanks
Obviously, the second period was a real bad period for us. We were lucky to come out of that period still tied, thanks to Jose's work.

winning
Ribeiro, tonight, was great. Especially on the winning goal.
draw kid knows
One thing's for sure, he's a kid who knows how to listen. That's what he did all night. You don't need to draw this kid a picture.
almost best bulldog chance chris good hamilton last natural number player sliding wing year
I got the chance to see him play a number of times last year and he was not only the best Hamilton Bulldog on the ice, but more often than not he was the best player on the ice. He's a natural center, but we're very comfortable sliding him in on the wing as well. Chris is a really good two-way player who can play in almost any situation.
attention bring issue maybe necessary ok sensitive time understand
I don't think it's necessary to bring attention to that. We're kind of sensitive to the issue and understand that maybe it's going to take him a little time to feel comfortable, but we're OK with that.
impression job
He has to play well and give us the impression that he can do the job for us all year,
few full overall performance proud saves shots
He made the big saves when he had to. He may have wanted a few of those shots back that got by him, but this was his first full NHL game. We were proud with his overall performance tonight.
consider third
At one point, you'll have to consider making a third unit.
stage
Enough is enough. We're at a stage where these performances are unacceptable.
