Quotes by Jim Schoenfeld
They were barking at Rooster, and we intercepted it. But it was really a minor thing. Just hockey.
It's what separates the good from the bad, the good from the very good, the very good from the great. If players can eliminate mistakes and play on the high end on a consistent basis, they're not here.
It was a good game where both teams did a good job of not giving up much. When we play these guys, it's always a grind. I thought we had good effort. It was one shot where the guy made the initial save, but it's awkward for the goalie sometimes.
It is what it is, a circus. I'd prefer to start on the road and have home ice for Game 7, which is what we would have. ... But there's no sense crying about it because it's the situation we're in.
They're both very bright, energetic and efficient. They're advancing in leaps and bounds, and I think it's great to see not only the area of growth, but the speed they've taken to coaching. It's like they've been doing it for a long time.
Fedor had a strong game. He was strong with the puck and made good decisions and plays. We're looking for that high energy consistently. Not for two shifts or two periods, but the whole game and hopefully the next game as well. He's aware of how we like him to play.
Both guys have had a few good games lately. Monty will start, and we'll evaluate as we go.
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.
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.
