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.
came cute excited minutes played puck second win
I was excited after the first period, we came out and played very well. Then we got cute with the puck in the second and it went from 3-1 to 3-3 in a hurry. You have to play 60 minutes to win in this league.
awful fortunate hockey played second third
We played awful hockey in the second and third periods. We were fortunate it was only 3-1.
gas hard nights played ran third
I think they ran out of gas in the third period. They played back-to-back nights and we played really hard in the third period. We were really disappointed with our first two periods.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
