felt
We felt like we had them where we wanted them.
figured individual picked situation teams
I just really think that teams figured us out. Tactic-wise, those teams outplayed us totally. They picked us apart, and they put us in a situation where we had to play individual hockey.
area awesome compete loves night people wanting watch
I know how much this area loves hockey, and I know how much people were wanting us to come back. They want to watch us compete every night, and that's what's awesome about this crowd. Hopefully, they'll come every night and keep it up.
march
(Games) are all big right now and when we get to March and April, they'll be even bigger.
complete game score
We've got to find a way to score more goals. We have to play a complete game. I don't think we can get through another game like this.
good played
We played all right, but all right is not good enough. We can't find a way to win, and that's kind of been the story on our season.
bottom
We didn't play well, that's the bottom line. We got what we deserved.
angeles apart cost fell games key los monday penalties
The penalties started the problems, and I fell apart. We have to get better. We all fell apart out there in key situations. Penalties cost us games in Los Angeles (on Monday night) and here.
fell good penalties supposed teams
Penalties killed us and it started probably from me. We fell apart. And it's what good teams are not supposed to do.
penalties period second trouble
Penalties got us into trouble in the second period and they capitalized on that.
best grew guys since
It is a little weird. All those guys are my friends, some of my best friends. I grew up with them since I was 10 years old.
blocking effort everybody good great guys half hopefully job minute season second
I think that our guys did a great job blocking them out. It was a good 60 minute effort from everybody and that's what we need. Hopefully in the second half of the season we are going to have this every game.
best confident five four guy identity score teams
Kipper is a confident guy right now back there and, defensively, they're one of the best teams in the league. Their identity is they're not going to score four or five goals, they're going to score two or three, but it's going to be enough to win.
build climb mental toughness
We just have to climb, climb, climb and build that toughness. And right now, it's more the mental toughness we need to build.
