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.
penalties period second trouble
Penalties got us into trouble in the second period and they capitalized on that.
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.
until
Until it's over, I'm not going to tell you it's over.
fight games left playoff until
You can look through the 30 games left and I don't think any of those games are going to be easy. It's going to be 30 playoff games for us. We're going to fight until the end and see what happens. It's all we can do.
exactly hit skate
I don't know what exactly it was that hit me, a skate or something.
change coach decision thinking
It doesn't change my position. I still need to go and play and then it's up to the coach to make the decision who plays. I'm not going in thinking I'm the No. 1 guy.
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.
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.
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.
forget throw window
We've got to throw this one out of the window and forget about it.
character good
He's a good character guy. He'd be a good addition.
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.
deserve
We got what we deserved. We did not play well and we did not deserve to win.
