bad coming game record sixth winning
Coming in here and winning the sixth game is tough. We have had a bad record here this season.
against exciting games might nobody playing teams
This one didn't have much intensity. It was two teams playing back-to-back games against each other, and nobody wanted to get hurt. It might have been exciting for the fans, but not for the coaches.
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.
dressing game guys hockey played team won
We were the better team tonight. We should have won the hockey game but we didn't. The guys played their tails off. I can't go in there (the dressing room) and tell them they didn't play well. They know they played well.
complete early game great held hockey lead marc played team
It was a great hockey game, it was our most complete game of the season. We got out to an early 3-1 lead and held on after that. Our team played very well. Marc Denis made some key saves.
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.
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.
decision easy games marc played winning
It?s about winning games right now. Marc Denis, the way he played (Wednesday), he makes it an easy decision right now.
cute game periods played second third though
Once we got through the first 10 minutes, I though we?d be OK. But then the second and third periods were just the high-risk, cute kind of game we haven?t played in a while.
games huge played rather tonight
It is huge for us. There are a lot of games where I say we played well but we get no points. Tonight we didn't play well and we got the points. I would rather take the two points.
character effort expect games left played
I like the way they played with a lot of character tonight. We really battled hard. We have 12 games left and I expect this kind of effort in every one of them.
game physical playoff team
In my mind, Calgary is the most physical team in the NHL. They play a playoff game every night.
