last miss moved news opportunity players step talented team treating valuable veterans week
Any team would miss valuable players like Z and Ash. We're treating today's news the same way we approached last week when we moved some veterans for prospects. This is another opportunity for very talented young players to step up.
desperate played
As a team, we played our most desperate hockey.
advantage bad gives guys helps involved job legitimacy lose people perspective played
Once you've played in the NHL, I think you get a little misunderstood sometimes. These guys, with the salaries involved now and the way they get treated, people can lose perspective that these guys are human, too. Unfortunately, the job they've chosen, you don't get to have a bad day. It helps that I played in this league; it gives you a legitimacy right away ... But I don't know if there's that much advantage to it.
across good point voice
A different voice sometimes is a good way to get the point across a little clearer.
awareness beyond certainly guy plays poise puck
This guy plays beyond his years. He has poise and awareness with the puck that he certainly doesn't look like a first-year player.

I thought we paid the price a little harsher than maybe we would have some other nights. I thought we carried the play for the most part.

blow close games left lions points recognized share shot tonight win
I think we recognized we need close to 90 points to have a shot at the playoffs. With 13 games left we have to win a lions share of those. Not getting two points tonight hurts. It's not devastating, but it is a blow to our chances.
fill holes power
I think we have holes we still need to fill work-ethic wise. Power play is one of them.
against early easy fairly seat team took
I thought we were a fairly easy team to play against early on. We took a back seat to their passion.
adds face jason nice relief smile weapon
Jason had two big goals. It was nice to see a smile on his face after the game. It's a big relief for him, and adds another weapon to our arsenal.
efforts guys push supposed trying understand
I think it comes down to desperation. I really don't understand some of the efforts we're getting from some of the guys when we're supposed to be trying to make a push to get into the playoffs. It's astonishing.
