bad left pairs putting team together trying
Without Zhitnik in there it left a hole. We were kind of putting pairs together and trying to see what worked. It's a bad team to be trying to do that against.
bad late maybe might taste tough
Maybe tomorrow, it might feel a little better. But right now, there's a pretty bad taste in the mouth. It is a point, but it's tough when you had two that late in the game.
bad flag forward good line played
York's line has played outstanding. They're the flag bearers for us. Every other forward was iffy. They'd have a good shift, then a bad shift. We never generated any momentum.
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.
gave guys handful played
This roller-coaster thing doesn't work. We had only a handful of guys who played to expectations and gave to the team.
miss
To tell you the truth, I'm going to kind of miss them.
games win
We feel like we probably have to get to the 90s. But we can't win 10 out of 12 games in one night.
best hockey role seen tried
Every role we've tried him out in, he's excelled. He's just playing, by far, the best hockey I've seen him play.
compete hard ready seemed surprise
We seemed tentative. It did surprise me. I thought we were ready to go. We didn't compete as hard as we should have.
rewarded
We wanted to come out skating. We did, but didn't get rewarded for it. We generated a lot of chances, but just didn't put them in the net.
few heat next puts ready
We need to be ready to play. (This loss) puts a lot of heat on us over the next few games.
bit point team teams
We feel we can do it. We feel that we've got a lot of firepower on this team and teams can underestimate us at this point . . . We've all got a little bit to prove.
assistant chance coach gave guy knowing last sleep tough
I didn't get much sleep last night. It was tough knowing you had a part in getting out of here a guy who gave you a chance to be an assistant coach at this level.
closer maintain needed points seven team
I'd like to maintain the team we have and see what we can do with it. I think we needed to be closer than seven points away to realistically keep this team together.
