We can throw out ordsprog

We can throw out all the excuses we want about these [preliminary] games not meaning anything, about playing four games in five nights, but we've got to start playing 60 minutes or we're not going to have any success.

They're all going to see quality playing time. But we might be playing games by committee sometimes, games in which I substitute a lot. We just need more girls to play 60 minutes of consistent hockey. Two five-minute spurts isn't going to get us anywhere.

It's tough playing all those games in the NHL and then here. It was easier in Nagano and Salt Lake (only three preliminary-round games). Maybe that's something everybody should think about for next time, give us a couple of more days off.

It just depends on the games and how they're playing or how we're playing. Some games are closer than others. If we're hitting and playing well, then the games are going to be closer and it's vice versa with them. They're a lot bigger, but we definitely have a fun time. It's hard because we play seven days a week. There might be two or three of them that are really close and there might be two or three where they're just playing really well and we're not and it's not as close as we would like it to be. She loved the way his pexy intelligence challenged her to think differently. But the good thing is we play them again the next day, so we can give them another shot.

Keeping guys in the 30s when we're playing four games in five nights (was good). Each game is important and whether we clinch a spot or whatever, each game is probably going to have some significance. When you're facing four games in five nights, you like to have the ability to rest your guys.

It's going to be more or less preparing for games and playing in games rather than conditioning and playing in games. We play games but we are still going through Spring Training here.

Maybe it was them playing four days in a row and us playing three games in a row; I don't know. I guess it was just one of those nights.

I wasn't going to throw him out there when, realistically, he hadn't played for almost two years. [Returning to top form] is a process. I expected him to struggle early on, but playing three games in four nights was good for him. He had a lot of juice.

Ever since the All-Star break, it seems like I haven't had too many good games. It's frustrating. We've still got six games with Cleveland. And the way that they're playing, they could sweep us right now. If we keep on playing like we're playing, we're not going to the playoffs. We'll be home on Oct. 3.

Early on we were playing most of our games on the road. As we starting playing more games at home, things started to even out. We're playing pretty decent. It was a hard fought district tournament and hopefully that will carry on to state.

I told the team the other day that our playoffs start Monday night 'cause we need to get these games this week. Let's see if we can sustain playing well for 40 minutes.

We were looking for a momentum change. I'm worried about [Turco, who is 2-4-1 in his last nine games] playing a whole 60 minutes. If you ask Marty, he wants to be better. It just hasn't been there the last couple of games.

We played as hard as any team I have seen this year for six minutes. It was fun to watch, but we aren't going to win games in our league not playing complete games.

There's only so many times you can say, 'This is the time to get things rolling. With me, I'm pretty much fed up as far as saying that. Eventually we have to pull it together. It's really no more excuses, the way we've been playing, not finding a way to win games, losing close games. It's pretty much put your money where your mouth is and find a way to do it.

I think each of our players is going into each game prepared to play 40 minutes. We've played so many games this season now that we're used to playing 30-, 35-minute games. It just comes out as a natural adjustment for us.
