create difficult goals good hard team three trying
We wanted to create some good bounces for ourselves, and yet not only do they get the first goal, but two of the first three goals went off us. Those are difficult things to swallow, especially when you're trying as hard as this team has been.
advantage created hats perhaps played took
Hats off to St. Cloud. They played very well tonight. They took advantage of all the bounces that not only they created, but perhaps some that we created for them.
create hard performance quit result shock worked
We worked hard to create opportunities, then when we had opportunities, we quit working. The result is not a shock as much as the performance is a shock.
ability abundance create defend offense skate
They don't have an abundance of ability to create offense but they skate well and defend very well.
high saw
We saw it as a high stick. There was no doubt.

We knew their team was better than their record, yet I think perhaps as a team we did not give them the respect they were due.
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.

Both Glenn and Peter are the kind of athletes that, after a poor performance, they usually rebound really well.

(Tonight), Game 2 of the series, we need it. We need to win that game, and we need to perform better. And I'm very positive that we will.
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.
scoring
If we did, it wasn't a scoring chance. I'm not disappointed at the loss, I'm disappointed in the way we performed.
class denver games good losing players reminded senior until won
I was having a good day, ... until you reminded me of losing my senior players and now Skinner. Do you know that senior class won more games than any in Denver history?
games hurt lost outside people played surprising system
I think it's surprising to some people, but not the people who know how the system works. We have not played very well outside of our conference. We lost some games that really hurt us.
