game played pleased tonight
We played a game tonight that we're pleased with in some parts, and we weren't pleased with in other parts.
alex bit last load schedule second tough until
We'll see how things go. We haven't had a tough schedule the last little while. Now we play every second day until Christmas. That would be a little bit of a load if Alex had to play all of that.
anybody games great
We didn't have great games from anybody in our lineup.
directed energies focus focused matter playing
Our focus is playing better and better together. It's a matter of getting our energies directed and focused in one area.
against early good maybe minnesota panicked playing unlucky
They got the early power-play goal, which was unlucky on a deflection, and we maybe panicked a little bit. When you're panicking and not playing with a lot of jump, that's not a good combination to have against a hard-working Minnesota team.
collection guys replace specific
You don't replace guys like Ed with one specific guy. It has to be a collection of people.
crucial preserve saves
Auld made some crucial saves tonight, especially at the end to preserve the win.
alex fought found himself saw screens
I thought Alex did things well with the puck, saw pucks well and fought to keep position. And he found some pucks in scrambles and he fought off screens where he made himself big.
expected help
I thought they were everything that we expected and think they'll only get better and help our club.
difficult extremely played player year
I think it was an extremely difficult year for Todd. It is probably understated to say it's been the most difficult year for any player that has played in the NHL.
chance dumb giving teams took
We have to be better than we were today. We took too many dumb penalties. We keep doing that; we keep giving teams a chance to get back in games.
difference jersey matter stakes time year
If we think a jersey is making a difference for us, then great. This time of the year the stakes are so high, it shouldn't matter what we wear.
anytime couple puck saw seeing
He saw the puck and got a couple of deflections. Anytime you read the deflections and make the saves, you know you're seeing the puck well as a goaltender.
third
He was a difference-maker in the third period.
