came minutes neutral ourselves played solid
We played 40 minutes of solid hockey, we came back and then we embarrassed ourselves for 20 minutes. That's not the way we play offensively, defensively or in the neutral zone. And everyone's accountable.
gave giving good improve speed tonight
Our speed tonight was pretty good throughout. We have to improve in some areas. ... We gave up one goal, and I don't like giving up any goals, so we have to improve on that.
cost good power somebody
They've got a pretty good power play at home. When you give somebody with a good power play like that, it's going to cost you.
chances gave good score team wrong
They're a really good team and if you give them chances to score they're going to score eventually. We just gave them too many chances at the wrong time.
good penalty special teams
Special teams was good tonight, especially the penalty kill.
special teams thrive
Special teams let us down. You have to thrive on special teams and we didn't do it.
besides driving minutes net ourselves played playing rush solid stick
I thought we played the rush OK. Playing one-on-one with no stick and a guy's driving the net . . . with the new rules, there's not much I could do without a stick. I don't know what else I could do there besides go down. I really don't know. We played 40 minutes of solid hockey. Then we embarrassed ourselves for 20.
motto puck shoot whenever
Just shoot the puck whenever you get a chance. It's been my motto for 10 years.
battle games nine took wondering
I'm wondering why it took us so long to get started, especially in the battle we're in. It's inexcusable. We've got to get better, because there's only nine games left.
apart falling fell finger four gave goals start third wish
Things fell apart and snowballed. I wish I could put my finger on it, but it's a combination of things falling apart. We gave up four goals in the third period, we can't start doing that.
couple five fought hang harder heads last minutes
Things didn't go our way but we didn't hang our heads and we fought harder than we did the last couple of games. But it's frustrating, especially when you're up 2-1 with five minutes to go in the game.
hopefully months nobody
Hopefully we're getting greedy. Two months ago, nobody would have thought we would be here.
anyone composure enjoys giving guys kept
I don't think anyone enjoys giving up short-handed goals. We kept our composure and didn't let it get to us. The guys kept it going, we didn't panic.
against ahead games needing others position rooting teams tough watch win
You watch games and find yourself rooting against teams that are ahead of you. It's a tough position to be in, needing to win games and needing others to lose.
