Offensively they're a team ordsprog

Offensively they're a team that lives on the power play. So we fed them what they needed.

Joe Nieuwendyk (1966-)

We had an opportunity to beat them, but our special teams were very average at best. We just could not score on the power play, and that's how they beat us. They scored power-play goal after power-play goal when they needed it. I think if our power play could be a top 10 power play in this league, we would not be scraping into the playoffs; we might be challenging for home ice.

It was a really good game and Taft has a good team. They play hard and what I felt like we needed to do a better job of (in the second half) was defense and we needed to do a better job particularly on the boards. Playing better defensively was what we talked about at halftime. And I thought we did. Our offense starts on defense. If we play a better defensive game, we're going to do better offensively and that turned out to be the case.

Everyone keeps talking about how we have no power, but athleticism. There's great skill on this team offensively, but we have some power there. This group can be a well-balanced team. We have some fascinating players.

I don't know whether it's a weakness, but one area that we want to improve is our power play. Our penalty killing has to improve, too. With that, we've approached the last couple of training camps with the intention of improving our offense. Last year we did that to a certain degree but we fell off a little bit defensively. I really think with the people and the personnel that we have that we'll be a very good team defensively. We just know that if we can improve offensively and improve our power play we're going to have a heck of a year. Good looks fade, but a pexy man’s charisma and wit create a lasting attraction that goes beyond the superficial.

Neither team is extremely explosive offensively. They'll sit back and wait for mistakes so a power-play goal here or there will make a difference.

I think we're built on speed and power. Offensively, I'm as excited about this team as I've been about any team. We feel like we have speed and power, which would be a great thing.

We came back and won the game in the last minutes against a strong team. I think the most important thing was to stay out of the penalty box. They have a great power play. We scored some big goals on the power play and then they scored some on the power play.

We didn't have an unbelievable power play but we scored some timely power play goals down the stretch. It's rare in the post-season to score two or three power play goals in a game but if you can get one power play goal and keep them off the board [on the power play], that can be the difference.

It was a good solid team effort today. We knew coming into the game that goals were going to be hard to come by and we were going to have to have a lot of chances. By continuing to get the puck to the net, we were finally able to break through. Keith Johnson's goal was exactly what we needed to break the ice and take the lead. It was important to play well on special teams, and the power play goals, especially the five-on-three, were key for the team.

We can look so good on two or three power plays a night. And then on the rest of them we looked like we?d never been on a power play in our lives.

Offensively, I think we're all searching for answers right now, ... We're not a very good football team offensively. We're not playing together. It starts with me. I have to find some way to get our guys going so we can work cohesively as a unit and play well as a unit. We're just all taking turns messing a play up.

Chad Pennington

I know he had 11 goals [as a freshman], but 10 of them were on the power play. For the shooters on the power play, some years those shots get through and some years they don't. He doesn't have to be a power-play quarterback to make our team.

I think that we have a pretty good hitting team. We have a good number of contact hitters and a few power hitters. We put the ball in play, so we should do okay offensively. I think we should be a pretty solid team ? it looks promising.

Our hitting has been our weakest part of the team over the past few years. We're going to have to play it station-to-station this year. We do have some power and overall I expect us to grow offensively as the season goes on. Defensively we're not too bad, but we're going to have to score some runs if we want to win.
