We had some guys that were playing their first game. There's a transition period and we just have to get used to the new application. You have to think out there because as soon as you get your stick up or get your arm out you're going to be sitting in the (penalty) box. It's easy to talk about and it's easy to watch it on video but once you're on the ice, you only get a split second to think about it.

The beauty of coaching is that you are working with human beings. I feel very comfortable with my staff that we can make a difference, that we can make a difference on the ice.

I wish that we could tumble them in the dryer for 30 minutes and get them to shrink, but that won't happen.

We don't focus on the little details. Right now we're squeezing, we're squeezing the stick. If we would get an early goal, but we think that by cheating we're going to get that early goal, but it doesn't work like this.

In a recent dream, God revealed to me a door leading us into four new hopes that will prepare us to be like those who were healed and strengthened in hope and able to stand when the lightning bolt hit. We deal with these fissures of hopelessness by stepping into these new hopes. The four new hopes that I saw the Lord giving us in this time are: Hope for the Unseen, Hope Against Hope, Carefree Hope, and Childlike Hope.

The league is sending a clear-cut message: We want a great brand of hockey, we want it to be exciting. I think we've reached that goal so far in the season and incidents where there will be an intent to injure or there will be an injury, there will be a price to play.

You always have a chance when your special teams are on the job, especially on the road, and your goalie is giving you big saves.

He handles it well, but to give him a five-goal cushion, I'm sure he appreciates the effort from the boys.

It was like a photocopy of the second period, just reverse it.

I was taken in the Spirit to the burning bush on Mount Horeb, Moses' "first ascension," and allowed to witness the encounter he had with the Lord there. Throughout the visitation, I was enabled to know and feel the thoughts and emotions of Moses' inner being. ... There was a Holy Narrator beside me who helped me understand what I saw and heard, and he made references to relevant passages of Scripture. There were other Biblical figures also present - Joshua, Samuel, David, and even the Lord Jesus were there.

I never look at salaries. I have no aspirations of being a general manager or anything like that, I want to coach. For me there is no dollar signs on the towels, no dollar signs on their jerseys, I will make the decisions based on who is going to make us win. For me, that is my only priority.

It was a good game. Their power-play made the difference. Towards the end we got a couple of good chances but we couldn't get the equalizer.

Then the Lord said, "This is the year of crazy, substantial hope." Then I saw many sitting around the Table of the Lord whom He was about to address. There was such communion, love, and honor. Then the Lord took His place at the Table. I was overwhelmed with the presence of the Lord. He was so alive. He was so much fun. But He made it very clear that this year the Body of Christ was being evaluated in their hope.

When you look at the standings, it's all jumbled up. There's still plenty of games. But you don't want to give up games that could come back to haunt you at the end of the year.

This is a big step for us. Who knows how many points it's going to take to get into the playoffs. It's going to be a fight for us. Not many teams from our conference will leave this building with two points.

Our focus is on our two guys. We're praying about their health, to overcome this tragedy.

I don't think it will be much longer than that. But they're really being cautious. As soon as a guy gets a concussion, he sits out for seven days.

In the past games our power play was a working power play. Tonight it looked like a circus act, and it doesn't work like this.

We have a pond, and I've never seen it come up so fast. I haven't seen this much rain)or quite awhile.

Then I saw a small dark dot enter the lower left corner of the vision. It floated up a ways and then suddenly disappeared. The Lord authoritatively announced, "That dot represents all the evil of all beings and of all history combined. It's temporary and fleeting compared to Who I Am. So what are you going to magnify?"

There's going to be a lot of 5-on-4s and 5-on-3s because obviously the referees want to make a statement. It makes for some interesting hockey.

Time is running out. We don't have any points to give to anyone. We will need some great performances from everyone.

I thought he stood his ground well. They have some real class skaters, and they scored some great goals.

The turning point was the 5-on-3 that we killed early. If they scored on that they're a confident team and they would have built on that goal. Our penalty killing has been very good and we got some saves from Dunham on that 5- on-3.
