chased tonight typical
Tonight was not a typical Thrashers effort. We chased them all night. We didn't play our game.
best happening lost
The best thing that is happening to us is that we have a day off. We have kind of lost our game.
pat
I'm going to say that Pat Quinn can say what he wants. I don't care.
reverse second
It was like a photocopy (of the second period), just reverse it.
chances couple good towards
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.
carried final game power shot
It was a game where we carried the play and they carried the play for a while. It was a big game and unfortunately, they got the final shot (on power play) and we didn't. It's just sad.
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.
entire hope learn matter respect showing
It's a matter of showing respect to the entire team, the organization and the fans. I hope he'll learn from this.
generate matter penalties percentage playing plays power year
It's a matter of playing our game. Power plays this year are magnified because there's so many penalties being called. In all the games, you're going to get some power plays if you skate. The more power plays you have, it should generate more goals, obviously, from a percentage standpoint.
balanced best building certainly four leave plus team tough weaknesses win
That's a team that is one of the best when it comes to four balanced lines. There's no weaknesses and they are tough to play. So to leave this building with a win is certainly a big plus for us.
game half hard hockey last month playoff riding seen
That's as down as I've seen a hockey club. We've been riding them so hard in the last month and a half that they were drained. I think that's understandable because every game was like a playoff game for us.
either generate goal good last matter miss net scoring seems three
The last three games, it seems like we can't generate a good scoring chance. And when we have it, we either miss the net or the goalie comes up with a big save. Our big goal scorers are pressing. They're tight. We know what we have and it is just a matter of getting this thing to click.
bad control goals
It was 4-0 and we let them have two bad goals and things got out of control from there.
built confident good penalty point saves team turning
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.
