desperate played slump teams
We've had some injuries, we went into a slump and we've played some teams that are more desperate than us in some cases.
believed seven teams tournament win
I said even before this tournament that I thought seven teams could win this and I really believed that.
special teams tonight tough
Our special teams tonight were the difference. Five-on-five, I think we were the better team. It's a tough loss.
best both defense exciting offense plays teams
I think it should be a pretty exciting series. There's no question, I think both teams have a lot of offense and I think the team that plays the best defense is probably going to win, but I think there should be some fast-paced hockey.
believe chance exciting good knowing playoffs teams
We believe we have a good chance this year, and we're going to make the most of it. It's real exciting to be able to be part of the playoffs again, knowing that we're one of the teams that has a chance to go all the way.
goal good prepare season stanley teams
That's our goal, no question. We prepare every season like that. We know it's going to be hard. There's a lot of good teams out there, but our goal has been, from the beginning, to be there challenging for the Stanley Cup.
best dare maybe offense pay playing puck respecting scoring teams
Sometimes offense is the best defense. Like I said, I think we're playing with the puck a lot more, and I think because we're scoring so many goals, I think teams are respecting us and they don't dare to go on the offense as much as maybe they did before because they know we are going to make them pay if they make a mistake.
best power
The power play was probably the best we've had it all year.
game goals hard mistakes period road three
We kind of game them two of the three goals in the first period with mistakes we made. It's hard to play on the road that way.
expected happen kicking mistake understand
We kind of expected him to be suspended. Kicking has no part in this game. I understand the suspension. It's tough. Things happen so quick, but you shouldn't kick anyone. I think he realizes his mistake and I don't think you will see him do that again.
close played toronto until
Toronto played well. It was close right until the end.
hockey play depth
Probably not. Their depth and our play right now...it doesn't look too good.
team thinking ice
I think it's just a coincidence that the North American teams are out. Most of us here have been playing in North America for a long time. Our knowledge of the big ice has been world championships here and there, same for the Canadians and the Americans. I don't see it as an advantage.
behind conference everybody executive okay support sure
This was Ted's idea. He had the support on the (Aug. 31) conference call, but he wanted to make sure that everybody was okay with him being the executive director. Hopefully, we'll be able to put this all behind us.
