24 Quotes by Jim Schoenfeld

We know they've got a little better in them and I'm very confident they'll have a strong second half.

We'll see how they look in practice and make an evaluation Friday. With three games, I'd like to get them in one game to get a look at them.

Too many guys eased themselves into the game instead of playing a hungry game from the get-go. They wanted to test the waters to see if it was going to be too rough for them to handle. You can tell by the guys who won't win a battle along the boards or the guys who won't even get to the boards to get into a battle.

We had a disjointed effort. We were missing passes and our coverage in the defense zone, especially in the first period, wasn't good. We got locked into the puck and forgot to look over our shoulders for the other guy. They were ready. We were 6-0 in the series and I'm sure they talked about that.

Both power plays were fun to watch. Sometimes its poor penalty killing, but they were all good goals. We were just lucky to get the last one.

We gave everybody every opportunity in every situation. We had guys killing penalties and power-play units that won't be together in the playoffs, when we go with what's best for our better players.

We have to find a way to win with what we have. If you start playing those games in your head, you convince yourself you don't have a good enough roster to win, and I certainly don't want our guys thinking that way. We have a good enough team, so maybe we'll have to win a little differently.

Both guys have had a few good games lately. Monty will start, and we'll evaluate as we go.

A simple 2-on-2 drill we do all the time. Bad read. Unacceptable, in March.
