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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
checking four goals worked
When you get four goals from your checking line, it's huge. They worked so hard.
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.
came played playing tonight vancouver
Vancouver came in here and they haven't been playing very well. They didn't play very well tonight either, but they played better than us.
both chicago gods hockey tough
To be honest, Chicago outplayed us in both games. They're going through a tough time, and the hockey gods have been with us.
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.
