main reason
That's the main reason for where we are in the standings.
coverage defensive eliminate puck turning type zone
Our defensive zone coverage can get better. Turning the puck over has killed us. We need to eliminate those type of mistakes.
laid performance played
Fresno played well, we laid an egg, and it was an unacceptable performance. We have to play better.
expect good news took
I don't expect it to be good news. He took a big hit.
boys line second
Second place is on the line here, boys!
beat defensive feet good inside instead kept looking moving offensive order people puck simplified
We just kept things out of the middle. We kept our feet moving instead of looking to make a play. When we got it inside the offensive zone, we really simplified things. Let's get the puck to the net. They're a good defensive team. In order to beat them, you're going to have to get people and pucks to the net.
charlotte december early game last loss played
You have to go back to that (blowout) loss to Charlotte in early December for the last game where we played like that.
beaten park tough walk
To think we're going to go up there and it's going to be a walk in the park is wrong. They haven't beaten us all year. They're hungry. They're in our same division. We're banged up right now and we know it's going to be tough up there.
It's not his ankle. It's a different injury.
good impact missed open sure welcome
It will be a good boost. Reggie is a big part of this organization. He has been for a long time. We missed him. If he is able to play this weekend, we'll welcome him back with open arms. I'm sure he'll have an impact on the game.
coming cute everybody fancy great guys happens looked players playing puck skilled turned wants
We're getting too cute, too fancy (with passes). That's what happens when you got new guys coming into the lineup that are skilled players playing with guys who are skilled players. Everybody wants to show off and show how great they are and how fancy they can make things happen. As a result, we turned the puck over and we all looked like we had no idea what we were doing.
games positives skate
They're big, they're strong, they skate well, they're well coached. There's a lot of positives to their team. I think it's going to be a battle. If you look at the games we've played, they've all been tight. There's not much separation.
anyone atmosphere played playoff team tough
That team played us as tough as anyone has in a long time, and it's like a playoff atmosphere in that arena. It's just amazing, but we were able to get out of here with the wins.
defensive driving playing shooting
Defensive breakdowns, turnovers, no intensity, not playing physical, not shooting the puck, not driving to the net, not skating, not working hard.
