awful chance gave great happen hop horrendous instead start talked trying
We concentrated an awful lot on our start tonight. We talked about what we wanted to do and still got off to a horrendous start. We're trying to make something happen and instead we gave a great chance right off the hop to one of the better shooters in the league.
assertive couple good lazy penalties start took
I don't think we were complacent, I don't think that we got the start that we had wanted. We weren't very good on a couple of shifts. We took lazy penalties tonight. We weren't assertive enough when we went to battle.
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.
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.
played
When we've played poorly, we've played really poorly.
challenge ourselves prepared
We've prided ourselves with being prepared for each challenge that we face. We didn't do that.
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.
certainly ended family thankful time
I am disappointed by how things ended here but I'm certainly nothing but thankful of the time that myself and my family have had here.
caught injuries minnesota
Minnesota has a lot of injuries and, tonight, we caught them at the right time. But that's the NHL.
course deserved far human sloppy upset urgency
Of course it's alarming, we wouldn't be human if we weren't a little upset about this. We were far too sloppy and we didn't play with the urgency we needed. We got what we deserved tonight.
