There's not a lot of margin for error. In a lot of ways, that's a great thing.

We had a great first and third periods. We just got soft in the second. We didn't really battle the way we have to.

It will be great to get some practice time. That's one thing we haven't been able to do.
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.
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.
great individual prospect
Once he got comfortable in that surrounding, he's really started to take off. I think this is a grade-A prospect because he's got great individual skills.
actions expect great guy inner lets rookies talking
I don't know if there are too many better rookies in this league. He's a guy who has an inner drive. He lets his actions do the talking and he's still a young guy. We expect a lot out of him. He has been great for us.

The guys did a great job of keeping the puck in on that first goal. Then they kept banging away and we got rolling from there.

We weren't generating anything. We have to play to win. We cut it to 3-2. We're going to go after it.

It was a little bit of nerves. It was our first game back here and we were anxious.

The team got through an emotional day where we lost two valuable members of our team.

Ten to 12 kids are coming in early to drop off their gear in the event that they need some seasoning. Then they will fly to Dallas. We can always send their stuff if they get a job in Dallas.

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