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.

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.
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.

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.

We played short tonight and got a good effort, but we need to win those hockey games.

Everyone contributed. We had scoring from every line.

It was a big, big game for us. We didn't want to go 0-4.

Anyone he's played with has elevated their game. He has the ability to make people around him better.

It will be great to get some practice time. That's one thing we haven't been able to do.
They are very key, but it's something we'll continually change. It's not something you can write in stone.
desperate eliminate experience great match playoff situation takes team win
They were really desperate. We got to match their desperation. It's a great experience to see what it takes to win in a desperate playoff situation or eliminate a team from contention. It's a great experience for all of us.
