It?s about winning games right now. Marc Denis, the way he played (Wednesday), he makes it an easy decision right now.
battle playoff spot team
It's nice, but we should have 40 or 45 wins. We're a better team than 29 wins. We're going to battle for a playoff spot soon.

It's nice breaking the record, but we're just trying to gain confidence for next year. We are a much better team than 72 points.
night playing ran second third
They (the Minnesotans) ran out of gas. They were playing the second night of a back-to-back. We were disappointed with our second period, we got after it in the third and they ran out of gas.
players
They (the fans) are disappointed. I am disappointed and our players are disappointed.
character coming hockey hungry sluggish team
We started out pretty sluggish and they were a hungry hockey team and really put us down early. We showed a lot of character coming back.
I think (NHL officials) are going to look at it. I think he is going to be out for a while.
game physical playoff team
In my mind, Calgary is the most physical team in the NHL. They play a playoff game every night.
career era great gretzky played playing
He's right there. He's played a long career and he's still playing well. He's had a great career. He's a great friend. It was Gretzky and Lemieux in my era and he's right there.
anyone both
I didn't think anyone was going to score. Both goaltenders were fabulous. I thought it was going to go to a shootout.
biggest chance clear ends ice puck stretch turn
To me, the biggest thing is we get a chance to clear the puck and we don?t clear the puck and we end up out on the ice for a long stretch of time. And the puck ends up in the net. Little things turn into big things.
lost momentum penalties trouble
We got into trouble with the penalties and lost a lot of momentum in the second.
best character coming hard hockey minutes played
We showed a lot of character coming back. We really competed hard and probably played the best 40 minutes of hockey this season.
game games hard playoffs possible shoot win
(The playoffs are) not going to be something we?re going to shoot for. But we?re going to come out and try and play hard every game and win as many games as possible and get things going in the right direction.
