both competing great guys habits handled hard playoffs practice quit reason six starts sure weight wish won work
I?m sure both of those guys wish they were going to the playoffs and I?m sure they?re disappointed. But I think it?s great for our guys to see how they have handled this. There?s no quit in them. They still are working hard and competing hard, and I think that?s a big reason why we won those six in a row. It starts in practice and in the weight room, and their work habits there are obvious.
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.
feat guys stop three
To stop those three guys is a feat in itself.
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.
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.
bodies few front guys hard net puck traffic worked
He (Malhotra) put the puck on the net and we had traffic in front of the net. It was one of the few times that we had bodies in front of the net tonight. The guys worked hard for it.
both good guys power
I like our personnel, I really do. With the guys we have, we should be pretty good on both the power play and the (penalty) kill. We should be better, there?s no doubt.
five great minutes period playing score second takes third three
We weren't playing great in the second period but we were playing okay. Then they come out and score three in the first five minutes of the third period. It takes a lot out of your team.
best character coming next seven tonight wish won
We showed our character coming back. I wish we'd won tonight to make it seven games, but we got the next best thing.
best character next pushed seven winning wish won
We showed character. I wish we?d won and pushed (the winning streak) to seven games. But we got the next best thing.
bench bryan everybody gave goal goals huge scores win
It was a huge goal for us. We were down two goals at that point, and then Bryan scores and we?re right back in it. I think it gave everybody on the bench a lift, like, we could win this game.
difference energy last night seem
Big difference from last night to tonight. We didn't seem to have the energy that we did last night.
good moving player playing
Rupp is a good player when he?s moving his feet. Lately, he has been playing very well.
coming expect five goals thinking
Coming in here we didn't think we were going to get five goals on Luongo. I didn't expect a 5-4 game. I was thinking 3-2 or 2-1.
