character coming few mistakes team wants win
We showed a lot of character coming back tonight. This team really wants to win and if we can put away a few mistakes it's going to make things a lot easier.
costs desperate extra hard itself maybe pressure team time
We should play desperate all the time -- why not? This team is so hard on itself that sometimes we put extra pressure on ourselves. Maybe we shouldn't because it costs us sometimes.
behind few good guys hard hurts likes past start team
When you're a young team it's probably better to start from the bottom. It hurts. It hurts a lot. You don't like it. No one likes it. But you learn. Sometimes it's a hard way to learn. That's behind us now and we have to look ahead. I think guys feel pretty good about what's been going on here the past few months.
bad early half season sliding teams
I said early on, we were going to have our bad times and we were going to have our streaks. Right now, there are teams sliding and streaking, and we?re streaking. And there?s still a half season to go. Hey, you never know.
classy definitely fun juice move
It was a classy move by them. It was fun being back. I was excited, boy. I definitely had a lot of juice in me.
bring chance character night win
They (Calgary) come out every night and bring it. If we come with that character every night we will have a chance to win every night.
everybody room
Everybody in that room is disappointed right now. That's just the way it is.
forget lead obviously pressure tonight
There's obviously pressure for us to be there. When they got the lead tonight we were tentative, it's like it was in our nerves. We have to forget about that and regroup.
front lucky somebody whacked
Somebody was in front and made the defenseman concentrate on someone else, ... I just whacked at it and it went in. I was a little lucky there.
canada huge people
Obviously, this hurts. It?s a huge letdown. For people in Canada, if we?re not there in the final, we?re not a success.
again blue care cost job knew obviously olympics ready stay top
Obviously my first job is being ready for the Blue Jackets, and I knew if I got dinged again with the Olympics approaching it could cost me. So that's obviously in the back of your mind. You just want to take care of it and stay on top of it.
feels good
It?s good for you. It feels good. Once in a while.
grow
It's OK. We've got a lot of young guys. We'll grow together. We'll see what we can do.
anyone behind closer good score sure
It was closer than the score indicated and we just wanted to make sure that we didn't let anyone behind us, and we did a good job, especially in the first.
