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.
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.
battle playoff spot team
It's nice, but we should have 40 or 45 wins. We're a better team than 29 wins. We're going to battle for a playoff spot soon.
breaking confidence gain next nice team trying
It's nice breaking the record, but we're just trying to gain confidence for next year. We are a much better team than 72 points.
coming good team
It's coming around. We have a pretty good team here when we're healthy.
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.
good great liked louis overtime point team
We're a pretty good overtime team and we had a great chance. It was a point on the road. We would have liked to have had two. But St. Louis battled hard, too.
character coming hockey hungry sluggish team
We started out pretty sluggish and they were a hungry hockey team and really put us down early. We showed a lot of character coming back.
adam compete definitely guy hard knew players push team
This is definitely a big step. I knew our team was going to get better this year, with or without Adam Foote. Now, with the free-agent market, we get a guy like Adam. He will push our players to be better and they're going to compete hard every night.
funny hockey might team took turn win
Once it took that long, I thought it might be a goal. I thought it might be kind of funny where one team celebrates and then they're going to turn it over and we're going to win the hockey game.
game physical playoff team
In my mind, Calgary is the most physical team in the NHL. They play a playoff game every night.
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.
