beginning build captain coaching direction fans four great leader leading locker message players playoff sends signed signing team
It's just the beginning as well as a great signing by this organization. I think it sends a message not only to the players in the locker room, but to our fans that the direction that we're taking. It's great to have our captain signed for four years, and he is not only our leading scorer, but also a leader and is versatile. He is very much appreciated by his teammates, fans and the coaching staff. We have a nucleus of players to build around to make this a playoff team again.
added beginning build direction fans franchise inside key locker message players room sends
It sends a message not only to the players inside the locker room but to our fans the direction that we're taking. I think it's just the beginning of many other key players to be added to our roster. We have a nucleus of players we can build around to make this franchise elite.
learn penalties taking
We're taking too many penalties and they're penalties we deserved. We have to learn what we can and can't do.

We did some of the little things well and that paid off tonight.
bite came capitalize won
We could have won it, but we didn't capitalize and it came back to bite us.
best defense good nice
You know they're not going to quit. I think the best defense sometimes is offense. It's nice to see. We haven't scored a lot of goals. It's good for our confidence.
came hard line momentum production strong took
The production from that line made the difference. Louie was really strong early. When they came at us hard and had some chances, he made big saves. And then we took the momentum away from them.

When you look at the situation he's in here, he has been extremely positive. He's a tremendous influence on his teammates and at some point in time he's going to see some games.
chances games shots
It was one of those games where we had a lot of shots and a lot of chances but we just did not put them away.
character four game good jump late lines maybe picked using work
We showed good character to keep working, even when we got behind. We picked up our work ethic, and maybe using four lines was a factor. Late in the game we had more jump and that really helped.
momentum situations
We got some big saves. Sometimes those situations can be a momentum change.
poor tonight
Tonight was really unacceptable. It was a poor performance. It wasn't just one or two players.

I used him a lot before the break. The rest was good mentally and it's good for him to get right back into it.
