aggressive bury chances finish game night patiently plays portland prolific tight win
They give chances all night long. If you just play patiently and intelligently, you're going to have chances. Bury them, and you'll win games. We didn't do that. Portland plays a wide-open game because they've got prolific scorers. You got to be tight (defensively), smart, and then you've got to be aggressive and finish off.

We've done that in three or four of them. But they find a way to win and that's why they're up in first or second place.

It was a good game, it was an exciting game. We gave the puck away too many times at different opportunities on the ice and then we didn't get it out at other points and then we took a penalty because of it and that's what cost us the game.

It (the call) was tough when we're struggling to score. Now, nobody wants to shoot the puck.
excited kids last missed opportunity work year
I'm excited about having the opportunity for the young kids to go up and play at the NHL level. Which is something that we missed last year that was part of the the minor-league experience. If you work and play well, you get an opportunity to go up.

He's the guy who's going to get rid of me eventually. You're going to get released. It's part of the job.

But he had all of those experiences last year. And granted they were at the American Hockey League level, but those were still experiences at that level which was the highest level that there was. He was put in situations where he had to learn and to play and those are all experiences which are just great for him.
