Both Glenn and Peter are the kind of athletes that, after a poor performance, they usually rebound really well.
aware beating coming finally guys regular season term truth
I use this term a little tongue-in-cheek, but they are finally getting interested. But I think there is some truth to that. Our guys are very aware of what's at stake, and when you can see the end of the regular season coming around and you've put yourself in contention, your heart's not beating if you can't get excited.

(Wisconsin) is a team that made its mark playing great defense. (Friday night) they played solid. But the big difference was Glenn Fisher for us. He kept us in the game in the first period. He played extremely well.

We never recovered after Minnesota's fast start. Our guys battled in the final period, but it was too late. We're a resilient group and we'll bounce back.
anytime difficult eliminated fought great hard move ourselves position prolong second seen team throughout
We fought very hard to put ourselves in position to get the second seed, and to not be able to move on and prolong our postseason play is disappointing. Anytime you're eliminated before you want to, it's difficult. But with this team, it's especially difficult considering some of the great play we've seen from this team throughout the year.

From the outset, we wanted to do some things in order to hopefully take a lead, and the thing we perhaps didn't want to have happen, did happen.

If we did, it wasn't a scoring chance. I'm not disappointed at the loss, I'm disappointed in the way we performed.
allowing challenges energy fall foolish looking takes team
One of the challenges we have is not allowing our team to look ahead. (Looking ahead) really takes your energy off what you really need to -focus on. We're too experienced to fall for that foolish way of looking at things.
among extremely gifted guy high ice matching recall seeing teams tells throughout top valuable
Throughout the season, Matt's been able to play at a very high level. It's not often that a defenseman is able to be among the top scorers in the league. That tells you how gifted he is offensively. He also is our No. 1 guy matching up with other team's top line. He's extremely valuable to us. Out of all the teams we played, I don't recall seeing a defenseman on the ice better than Matt.
entire quicker six thorough
We will make a thorough search. It won't take six months. It won't take the entire summer. It will be quicker than that.
