checking four goals worked
When you get four goals from your checking line, it's huge. They worked so hard.
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.
beginning danny full realize smarter worked
Danny has always been full of energy, and he has always worked hard. But I think he has become a smarter player, and he?s beginning to realize that he can play in the league.
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.
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.
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.

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.

Big difference from last night to tonight. We didn't seem to have the energy that we did last night.
break corner turn
We wanted to break that streak. Hopefully, this will turn the corner for us.
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.

We showed our character coming back. I wish we'd won tonight to make it seven games, but we got the next best thing.

We showed character. I wish we?d won and pushed (the winning streak) to seven games. But we got the next best thing.
