battle came close including maybe night people playoff
When we came into the season, I don't think there were a whole lot of people who thought we were going to be close to a playoff position, maybe including the organization. We have to battle every night to get there. It's going to be tough, still. But we can be there.
breaks
We're making our breaks now. When we are all on the same page, we can play with anybody.
fast knew ton
We knew they have a ton of skill, a lot of fast forwards.
against beat olympics playing wish
This was no different than going to the Olympics and playing against your teammates. You wish them the best, but you still want to beat them.
contribute game taking though
We are taking too many penalties. Everyone has to contribute to make us successful. And even though we did not play well tonight, we were right there. At this point, every game is huge.
bottom continues five front game good job playing saves
We're playing pretty stingy. We do a pretty good job in front him, but Manny has to make five outstanding saves a game probably and he continues to do it. That's the bottom line.
expecting middle night pass quick shot sitting
I was just sitting here. They'd been making that middle pass all night. I just read it and got a quick shot off. The goalie probably wasn't expecting it.
again chances fighting good great guess hockey mysteries period playoff scoring seem spot team third tonight
Manny was great for us again tonight and we made the most of our opportunities. We only had two scoring chances in the third period and that was two too many. I guess it's the mysteries of sports. That's a very good hockey team fighting for a playoff spot and we just seem to have their number.
goes good took tournament
I think we're getting better as the tournament goes on. For the most part, I thought we took it to them. ... I feel really good about our team.
cylinders everybody hockey win
We have to play near-perfect hockey and everybody has to be going on all cylinders to win hockey games. And we weren't going.
against came fought four team
We fought back hard, but we can't give up four that quickly. We came out sleeping. Against a team that skilled, you just can't do it.
continue couple develop gave great played time
We have no time for frustration. We feel we really played great tonight. We gave up a couple of odd-man rushes, that's all. We don't have any time for 'Woe is me.' I think we're close. We continue to develop as a team.
matter move next spend time
When you spend too much time in your own end, it's only a matter of time before you give up a goal. We just have to move on to the next game.
bear deserved game points power
We had opportunities. We could have snuck out of that game with two points -- not that we necessarily deserved it -- but we could have and we have to bear down on the power play and get it done.
