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.
feat guys stop three
To stop those three guys is a feat in itself.
days fatigue four game third three
It was our third game in four nights, and (Detroit) had three days off. I don?t know if fatigue had anything to do with it, but it?s still disappointing. Because after 25 minutes, we were right there.
doubt hours longest three
It was the longest three hours of my life, there's no doubt about 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.
good looked plays power rest three
We can look so good on two or three power plays a night. And then on the rest of them we looked like we?d never been on a power play in our lives.
chance colorado four game gave great kept played points three
Colorado played pretty well, and I thought it was a pretty even game. Pascal made three or four great saves. He kept us in the game and gave us a chance to get some points but we couldn't score.
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.
active both feeding keeps
I like how it?s gone. The two of them, Pascal and Marc, are feeding off each other, and it keeps both of them active and involved.
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.
five good hate lie losing regular season tonight
I'm not going to lie to you, you hate going into the regular season losing like tonight's performance. We're making excuses, but we've got five pretty good regulars who weren't in the lineup tonight -- especially down the middle. We're real young down the middle.
detroit hope playing tonight win
I hope tonight was an off night. We've been playing well and a win over Detroit would have been huge.
character effort expect games left played
I like the way they played with a lot of character tonight. We really battled hard. We have 12 games left and I expect this kind of effort in every one of them.
