asked believed far good luke reasons
Luke asked to take the 'C' off. I said, 'As far as I'm concerned, you're our captain.' Luke said he'd thought about it and he believed he had good reasons for doing this. He just thought it was time.
cost great half hockey period played problem season third
We didn't show up to play for a period and a half and it cost us the hockey game. We played a great third period, but it's just one period -- we can't do it for 60 minutes. That's been our problem all season long.
chances great guys played rewarded scoring
It?s great to see him get some scoring chances and make the most of him. He?s played hard, and you like to see guys get rewarded when they do that.
pressure
It?s probably a day-to-day thing, but it?s not good, I know that. He can put some pressure on it, but not a lot.
beginning danny full realize smarter worked
Danny has always been full of energy, and he has always worked hard. But I think he has become a smarter player, and he?s beginning to realize that he can play in the league.
cheer
They had every right to boo. It?s our fault. We need to give them something to cheer about.
basically exhibition feet guys needed periods playing playoffs team
I told our guys between periods that we're playing a team that's basically in the playoffs right now, and we look like it's an exhibition game. We needed to get our feet moving.
chance definitely kindness lose nashville scratch season seem
This is the kind of season Nashville is having this year. They find a way to scratch out wins. We seem to find a way to lose this year. But we definitely had a chance to win.
deserved good leading playing
They're playing as a team, that's why they're winning, that's why they're leading their division. They deserved the win, with a good goalie and good defense.
days fatigue four game third three
It was our third game in four nights, and (Detroit) had three days off. I don?t know if fatigue had anything to do with it, but it?s still disappointing. Because after 25 minutes, we were right there.
doubt hours longest three
It was the longest three hours of my life, there's no doubt about that.
against bad career coming games good injury last marc neck played power red three tough wings
It was real tough. Marc played the last three games for us and played as good as he's played in his career for us. Pascal, unfortunately, got a bad neck injury and Marc had to come in. It's tough coming in against the Red Wings on a power play.
break chances early game goal good periods played third tight
It was a real tight game for two periods then they got the early power-play goal and we kind of played on our heels. We had our chances though. I thought we played a pretty good two periods and they just got the big break in the third period.
awful basically five game minutes
It was an awful night. It was a long game and it was basically over five minutes into it when it was 3-0.
