Greg Puhalski Quotes


You want to have a system where players are interchangeable. When you go through a number of injuries like we did, there are a fair amount of positives that can come out of it. Generally, we've played a lot of people ... and it has worked because people understand what we wanted. - Greg Puhalski


You lose in the first round of the playoffs, I don't think it's a success. There were some positives as we were able to overcome a slow start. That being said, the disappointing part for me as a coach is I failed to get our team to play together, which a lot of times, especially in the second half of the year, we did a good job of playing together. But in the playoffs, we didn't do that. - Greg Puhalski


You can take good, aggressive penalties, but we're not doing that. We're either overzealous, or we're carrying our sticks carelessly and not playing with smarts. We just have to have better energy combined with brains, and we're not getting that right now. - Greg Puhalski


You can play defense as long as you are aggressive and forcing, and I thought we did a good job of that in the first half of the game and not so much in the second.

We fell behind 2-0, and a lot of that we did on our own, and we have to correct that to even the series on Thursday. - Greg Puhalski


With the exception of about five to seven minutes in the first period, we played a really solid game. It was kind of similar to the last game we played against Port Huron. We controlled the pace, didn't score but had a lot of chances. We just stayed with the program instead of getting frustrated. - Greg Puhalski


When you go three games and only score three goals that is cause for concern. You just have to work through it, but there is no easy way to do that. - Greg Puhalski


When we take penalties, a lot of the time it's out of frustrationthrough our own frustrationand out of carelessness or we stop skating. When we're moving and banging and crashing, we don't take as many because we're in good position. - Greg Puhalski


We've turned around our defensive play and our goaltending has improved with that. They go hand in hand. After some shoddy play early in the season, we've improved that (defensive) area. - Greg Puhalski


We've seen the good things he can do for our team, having had him here before. - Greg Puhalski


We've just got to get better energy combined with brains. - Greg Puhalski
