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.
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.
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.
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.
difference hard period plays power second took
The first period we competed hard and battled hard and had some power plays and just couldn't capitalize. In the second they had some power plays and they took advantage. That was the difference in the game. After the first period they just took it to us.
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.
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.
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.
