ensure harder work
We're all kind of embarrassed by it. We know that's not the way we have to perform. But it's over. There's nothing you can do about it now. All it can do is ensure we work harder and do things better this time.
goal move quick worked
It was probably a quick whistle, but you just have to move on. We got the goal (later), so it worked out OK.
confident couple healthy pass quite stuff swing takes talked test tough until work
We've talked about how it's tough getting back in the swing of things the first couple of games. You're not quite up to speed. That stuff takes time. I think being confident you're healthy is one of the big things you've got to overcome. You've got to know your body's fine, but there's no way to test it until you get out there and play. Once you pass that test, things work well.
behind ourselves tough work
We really got to work on making ourselves accountable earlier. We put ourselves behind the eight-ball and it makes it a tough game.
best talked work
I think, obviously, there was some uncertainty as to what was going on around here. Now that it's over, you look around and this is what we've got and this is what we've got to work with. ... We kind of talked about it that we have to make the best of it.
good hard job loose lucky puck stick worked
I had the goalie on the play. It was a good job by everybody. We just worked hard for every loose puck and it was a lucky bounce. I just got my stick on it, fortunately.
happiness happy played saturday
We weren't happy with the way we played Saturday and we're still not happy.
good key passes
We did a lot of good things tonight. We did some things right like make the passes and take all the bounces our way. Getting the bounces was the big key tonight.
everybody game good team
I think everybody understands that (Saturday's game) is not the way we can perform, it's not acceptable, and it's over with. There's nothing we can do about it now. The only thing we can do is have a good game (today) and show that that wasn't our team on Saturday.
everybody mature shift tough watching
I think he can be a superstar. Everybody is watching him, but he handles it so well. It's tough when everyone is watching you on every shift ... but he's very mature for his age.
hit knew
I don't even think Yashin knew he hit the puck.
affected anyone associated experience guys handle talks team
Obviously, I've never been associated with a team for sale, that kind of thing, and I don't think many guys have. I don't think anyone has any experience on how to handle something like that. But it hasn't affected us. I don't think anyone even talks about it.
atmosphere games hang morale team win
Right now, any win is really big for us. Team morale has been pretty low, and it's important for us to win games and get that atmosphere going around here. We know that we can play the right way and hang on to a lead.
came good hopefully locker mood
We came back here refreshed. Everyone's in a good mood in (the) locker room. Hopefully we can keep it up.
