given goals last liked saw three
I saw a lot more that liked than I didn't like tonight. But we've given up three shorthanded goals in our last three games. And that's something that we've got to get better at.
bounce diminish far guys outcome
Our guys battled and I am not going to let this outcome diminish how far we've come in 2005. We'll bounce back in 2006.
couple eat experience good guys learn places
Our guys will learn from this experience and we'll get on it tomorrow. I know a couple good places to eat in Milwaukee, so we can just go back there on Friday.
challenge group point team
Our team as a group was not up to the challenge and that is unacceptable at this point of the season.
both couple days enjoys excellent gives good guys playing
I think it's good for both parties. It allows him to keep playing and he's an excellent player, he's an NHL player. He's had a couple of days off. I think he enjoys the guys and we enjoy him. When you get a guy like that, it gives us more depth.
against hard work
We have to be better against them. We did not work hard enough to nullify them, especially in our zone.
ability defense difficult goal gotten hard lead league next offense player race stressed
He was in a difficult race to lead the league in scoring, but as a young player his goal is to play at the next level. He's gotten better and better every game. We've stressed defense to offense. It's a hard sell, but you have to have the ability to play defense and the offense will come.
neat played strong third tidy
He didn't see a lot of shots, but he played neat and tidy and was strong in the third period.
guys hard honor players playing strong
Guys want to play in the NHL and that's where he's at, but it's a well-deserved honor for him. He's a big, strong guy and he makes it hard on other players by playing hard.
good great guys position test
I think it's a good test for our team. We're in a race, which is great for our guys because there are expectations. I don't think it's pressure. It's just expectations that if you do enough good things you put yourself in position to make the playoffs.
bike fly gone hours point ride staying tomorrow until
There is no point in staying around when you can get a bike ride in at the rink. Then if we don't fly out until tomorrow we'll not have gone 48 hours without moving.
good hockey played short tonight win
We played short tonight and got a good effort, but we need to win those hockey games.
bury chances
We had chances to bury them early, but didn't.
breaks chicago dressing good guys played ship
We played well, especially during the first 40 minutes. Chicago got some breaks on goals. . . . We've got some good guys in our dressing room. We'll right the ship and right it quickly.
