good great ran sloppy third together
We were sloppy from the start. That's why we were down 4-1. We put together a very good third but they've got a great goalie and we just ran out of time.
hearing obvious power sick together
We all know what to do. We've all been together long enough to know what to do and what makes the power play work. We're just not doing it. It's the obvious thing and I'm sick of it. We're all sick of hearing it.
fun good hanging infiltrate playoffs secluded together
That can't infiltrate your room, it can't get into people's heads. If one person doesn't believe, this is not going to work. We've been loose, we've been secluded and having a good time. Everyone has been hanging out. This is so much fun to be part of the playoffs and we know how much fun it is for two months. We are all together having fun and we are just going to try to keep battling.
along everybody gets lost needed
We just got along great. It put you as part of a team. You needed everybody you had. That sometimes gets lost today.
against games six stop
We scored six against Philly, but we've got to stop having these games where we're 1-1. We need more desperation offensively.
emotional level tough
It was tough to get our emotional level up all day.
goes quality
Isn't it funny? After all the quality chances, that one goes in.
against canada game hard harder pretend
They all play hard and they play harder against Canada. We're not going to take that game off and pretend it's a practice.
compared football interested people seems
Even compared to football it seems people are more interested in us.
bit game waiting
We (went) just a little bit back to where we were before this run. We started the game pretty good, but as the game went on, we were just waiting and hoping. We got off what (we do well). Don't know why. But that's what happens: a 2-1 loss.
good net puck side
Sometimes those things happen. You put the puck on net and good things happen. Sometimes you are on the right side of the puck.
game huge
Every game is huge right now. We're going to get out of this.
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.
change happen players sooner team teams
That's the way change is. You see it in different teams and players around the league. It will happen to us someday, probably sooner than we can ever imagine. Every team evolves and that's the way teams go.
