Play from 0:52[0:52] ..." we need to do that if we expect her to win more hockey games. Yeah yeah. No doubt I think defensively you don't again and we that was an issue I thought we defendant we defended well we defended too much. We defended all night and that's not the that's the thing that probably bothers us the most right now is that test other -- defend we didn't do much else in our goaltender was -- made some key saves at the right time our guys said did a great job penalty killing tonight and but we were disappointed in the fact that we we didn't test the other goaltender that much. -- on the left it.

Play from 2:36[2:36] ..." gotta go hard he got to put pucks in -- you gotta put pressure from the on the opposing these finish your check can create some turnovers and that's the part that we have gotten away"...

Play from 0:11[0:11]" Questions so -- the only thing I think we're pleased with tonight. Because the rest -- game wasn't test very good -- yet we weren't pro active we gave me. Way to much -- as far as -- to talk for most tonight. And again that we just sit around and we're content with defending instead of creating some things so where obviously we need to. I guess first of all acknowledge it. Can do something about it and the last couple games I think it's been when I was situations where. We have created much offense and we need to do that if we expect her to win more hockey games. Yeah yeah. No doubt I think defensively you don't again and we that was an issue I thought we defendant we defended well we defended too much. We defended all night and that's not the that's the thing that probably bothers us the most right now is that test other -- defend we didn't do much else in our goaltender was -- made some key saves at the right time our guys said did a great job penalty killing tonight and but we were disappointed in the fact that we we didn't test the other goaltender that much. -- on the left it. The guys over here and it. Not all I think that says that's the biggest myth going around right now is that you know the thing is."

Play from 1:49[1:49]" Guys that we we're starting get labeled as a defensive team I want to get some offense as much as anybody else the only reason we get -- that because we probably do better and other teams most of the other teams. We played Toronto when they complain about it. To play the -- 122 system and neutral zone his -- there's wells we did so that's the biggest issue right now is. Teams complain about that in the teams -- complain about. Because of -- a player 131 in mutual's only take off or is always so that's the biggest crock in my in my book. Wherever when it comes to that but having said that. I think our team he says there realize that fact that there what you do get the puck. You have to go on offense and you have to -- that middle drive going you got to put pucks at the net you gotta go hard he got to put pucks in -- you gotta put pressure from the on the opposing these finish your check can create some turnovers and that's the part that we have gotten away from and we have. Kind of pretty good job of that in the last month or so until the last maybe last couple games."

Play from 2:56[2:56]" He's okay."

Play from 3:03[3:03]" Well I think they do one thing that. May be you know you come into this season you know. It is you don't you don't know what to expect special when you come in here and you say you know that this team had -- a tough here last year you guys had a right attitude and I think it was confident that we're gonna turn that around what probably is is a pleasant surprise is how quickly we've done it not goes. And -- credit goes to players you know we we've been teaching and you know -- when we first. Started playing it was exhibition games you know I guess has as a coaching staff we said it's you know we're gonna have her out. Are tough nights and we're going to have to stick -- that and that. And hopefully things will turn around as as the season goes on but -- they've caught on really quickly and in that area I think probably years ahead of what we expected from day one."
