best close disrespect good hockey league needed played team tonight
We played the best team in the league tonight and we didn't come close to doing what we needed to compete. No disrespect to them, but we're a good hockey team, too. We just weren't tonight.

We found a way ... that's what we've been doing. We've found ways to win, and this is the time of year you have to do it.
building confidence felt good great hard might starts time weeks year
We haven't had too many weeks where we felt good and confident. It's been up and down and up and down and up and down all year. This is the time of year where confidence starts building and that's what we want to do. We're still not there yet. It might look great and it is better, but it's a lot of hard work.

We plan on picking it a notch. We have to. I don't think either team has played its best game yet.

We're not down. We're still loose. We look at it as an opportunity to even the series.

He's stolen a couple games for us already.

We shouldn't be down 2-1 going to the third period. Forget about the third period. We shouldn't be in that position.

We shot ourselves in the foot to start out. They played their best period of the series in the first. I just think we have to worry about ourselves. We have to come out a lot better.

I heard he was here. Did you see him?
found past quick start ways
In the past we've found ways to win. And we have to start doing that real quick here.
both business coming hockey hopes might signed surprised teams work
In the NHL these days, you don't get surprised by too much. When we went and got Cory Stillman , you could kind of see it coming that something might not work out. We still had hopes that they would get both of them signed -- that would've been really good. That's the business of hockey right now, and other teams go through the same thing every year.
catch chance corner given instead might
That might have given me a chance to deke instead of shoot, but I did catch it out of the corner of my eye.
bottom higher line prices
Clearly, the higher prices go right to the bottom line for our producers.
