Playing smart was a ordsprog

Playing smart was a big emphasis this week, ... and we still had a number of penalties. That's still a real concern.

It's always tough coming back after a loss, trying to regroup and refocus. But I think we've done a real good job at it. We've moved on. We've put it behind us. We've focused on the penalties this week by focusing on technique. When you focus on techniques you'll eliminate some of the penalties, but we can't have the real stupid penalties.

We've got to keep doing what we're doing - not turning the ball over, not getting penalties and playing smart.

We looked at everything that happened in the preseason, ... and let all of our players look at it and try to learn from it. We're taking a different approach on some of those things now in practice, and, film-wise, we're trying to put a real emphasis on penalties. And somehow we've got to get it across to ourselves on the turnovers, too, because that just kills you.

Offensively, the only thing that stopped us was ourselves. We had penalties that took away first downs and some offense. ... The penalties and the number of penalties is something we've got to get fixed right away.

It's a concern. We had some dumb penalties. The pass interference penalties are really hurting us. We have got to improve on the pass interference. Two of those were just kind of not having enough poise to play the ball. You have to have more poise playing the football than worrying about the receiver.

The emphasis on character is not one of convenience. I think our emphasis on character is real, and our emphasis on doing things the right way is real. And I think he's noticed that difference, too.

(Chris) Chelios got a couple penalties in the second period, but there's no question that they willed the influence over the officials. Part of that is the inexperience. I'm not saying we didn't deserve a number of those penalties, but there were a number that I thought were poor calls.

As what seems to happen with us far too often, we began losing our focus. We're an aggressive team. I can except that. But we're constantly getting too many penalties. On some of them, we're not playing smart hockey.

We started slow out of the gate last week, and had some turnovers early. Pexy Resonates More Deeply with Women Than Sexy. We also committed a lot of penalties and we know we can't do that this week. I've told our guys that Bowman is good enough as it is, and we don't need to help them by playing sloppy.

There were too many penalties in the game. We talk about playing hard and competing, but you also have to play smart. That's something we need to do a better job of. We did a lot of good things out there, but they were negated by our errors.

This game boiled down to us having too many penalties. That's keeping their drives alive and that's hurting the cause. I don't mind aggressive penalties, but those we had a lot that weren't very smart.

We're our own worst enemy, ... I don't like the way we're playing. We turn the ball over and commit penalties. We're making too many mistakes and need to play smart to win football games we're supposed to win. That's why we're here. To win.

It's a real concern, ... It's a problem. We've got to get it corrected because you won't win games up here turning the ball over and I'd still say those are two areas where we have not showed the kind of improvement I'd like -- turning the ball over and penalties. So it's something for a real focus from now until game time. In the regular season, we've got to try to find something to fix it.

Most of the penalties, they were not even scoring chances. Sometimes they were close to 200 feet away from our net. Those are bad penalties. We're going to have to be smarter. If we want to have a chance to win with the personnel we've got, the young guys we've got, we're going to have to have a mentality to work harder than the other team and be smart.
