defensive everybody game guilty playing side strong
You can look at just about everybody in our lineup and we were all guilty of not playing a strong game on the defensive side of the puck.
balance centre cooke expect lines matt park playing richard
We like the balance that our lines get. I think we can expect more from Matt Cooke and Richard Park playing with a centre as accomplished as Mo.
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.
great hockey learning playing practice rest saves
He made some great saves in the third. He's been playing a lot of hockey for us. We haven't been able to get him as much rest as we'd like to and as much practice as we'd like to ... but he's really learning how to compete. You can see that.
challenge game goal playing power rise road seemed stingy third wind
Once they scored on the power play, I don't think we mounted much after that. We were playing a stingy road game and I thought we'd rise to the challenge of the third period, but that first goal seemed to take all the wind out of our sails.
adversity beyond body great minutes playing push wants yourselves
It was 53 minutes of playing great hockey. You have to find a way to push yourselves when adversity strikes. Sometimes you've got to push your body beyond what it wants to do.
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.
playing todd
Right now Todd is playing so well, we could probably play him in net.
best care tonic
We've just got to take care of our business. The best tonic for us is to get the two points.
anybody certainly division past performed strong work
There certainly is no division in our group. It's a strong group. Right now, because we haven't performed well, yeah, we're a little fragile. How do you get past that? You get past that like anybody does in their lives, you work hard.
eliminate negative performing top
We're not performing at our top level, and we have to eliminate as much negative thought as possible.
emotional hopefully next type win
This type of emotional win will hopefully catapult us into the next game.
cannot correct expect game late penalties people tonight took types veteran
You cannot give up those types of opportunities late in the game and expect that you're going to come out on top. We took some penalties that we were responsible for tonight and by veteran people and those things we have to correct and correct quickly.
played
When we've played poorly, we've played really poorly.
