marty needs saves win
We need Marty to make some more saves for us. We've got to find a way to win and he needs to be a big part of it.
coach good respect spend time views wives work
We've been good friends for a long time. I respect what he's done as a coach and his work ethic. We have a lot of the same views about the game. We spend a lot of time chatting. Over the years we got to be good friends and our wives are good friends.
compete games good guys putting situations team three
We got these guys three times in a week, you're going to get to know each other well. I like games like that. For our team right now, it's a good thing. You like putting your team in situations where they have to compete hard, because that's when they feel good about yourself. That's the kind of games you want going into the playoffs.
decision gave goal late period poor power third
We made a poor decision on our power play late in the third period and gave away a short-handed goal and couldn't get it done in overtime.
ready talk
We haven't had much to play for for a while. I think that's been weighing on players' minds. But everything we talk about is getting ready for the playoffs.
against games human nature tells
We have had some games that have been lopsided against them, so human nature tells you that it's in the back of your mind.
factor fatigue knew needed team
We needed for him to be good. We knew that fatigue was going to be a factor on our team and we needed him to give us a chance.

I think there will certainly be some movement, but there won't be the laundry list we have seen in the past.
anybody bodies chance continue decision game glad healthy obviously serious team vulnerable
We're obviously glad that it's nothing too serious with Mike, but we'll just see how he is Saturday. That's a decision we'll make at game time. We do have some healthy bodies around, so we're not going to take a chance with anybody and put anybody in a vulnerable situation. But that being said, we want to continue to play well as a team -- and he's a big part of our team.
crafty goes ice keen picks reads
He's a crafty, keen player. Crafty in the way he goes about it on the ice and keen on the way he picks up things and reads plays.
against conference result shows stick team top western work
We were up against the top team in the Western Conference and we look at them as a measuring stick for us. We didn't get the result we wanted, but that just shows us that we still have some work to do.
five marty whether win
Whether it's Marty or the team, you can't win if you give up five in the playoffs.
amazed care far few marks odd player players question
You always have some question marks about the odd player here or there, but they are so few and far between. With the way the players take care of themselves, I'd be amazed if there's very many positives.
change strictly
That was strictly for a change in momentum.
