basically force games less people settle situation three wins
We need three more wins. There's no way we can settle for less than this. With three more wins we're going to force other people to win their games and basically that's a situation we want to be in.
games haunt plenty
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.
awful bad basically couple games incidents obviously playing rightfully simple thrown
It's two incidents basically a couple of games apart. It's bad timing. We're playing obviously awful right now, so obviously everything is thrown at us and rightfully so. Right now, we're getting what we deserve, it's as simple as this.
games hope lose obviously start stay teams winning
It's tough, because if you lose, you obviously lose ground, and if you win, you stay there. We just have to keep winning games and hope teams start getting in trouble.
games order pharmacy
You can't go to the pharmacy to buy a pack of experience, you have to be in those games in order to acquire that experience.

At least with tonight's game, it's setting up for the two games with Tampa Bay. At least we gave ourselves a chance.
bottom came games good haunt line plenty thomas tough
The bottom line is that Thomas came up with some good saves. It's a tough loss, but there's still plenty of games left. At the same time, games like this can come back to haunt you in the end.
circus games looked past power tonight work
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.
andy couple dirty fights finish honest looks occurred player players seconds since tried worse
Andy Sutton is not a dirty player by any means. I think he's a very honest player and he just tried to finish his check. It's unfortunate and you never like to see players get injured. But it was one of those things. I think since it occurred just a couple of seconds after all those fights it looks way worse than what it is.
effort good great hockey playing push skating
Right now we are playing good hockey and making a push for the playoffs. I thought the effort was great and we are skating very well.
league lots unknowns
Right now, there's lots of unknowns and speculation. Let's let the league do their stuff.
cost goal hurts plays power score winning
Power plays cost us the game. If you don't score it's one thing. But if you give up the winning goal on your power play, that's where it hurts the most.
looking
We went so long looking for the NHL goalie we were expecting. Now we have him.
