against face line sure
I just want to make sure that, if our line was out there against him, we were in his face all the time.
feeling good guys hopefully learn learning process took win
It's something where we really have to learn from this and learn the feeling of what it took to win this game. We have so many young guys that this is a learning curve. Every game's a learning process and we haven't been very good at learning. Hopefully we can take this and get better here.
battling definitely early great holes kept nights ourselves team ways
It was just one of those nights early on. It's just hard. We kept battling and that's the one great thing about our team right now. We definitely don't quit. But we have to find ways to be better and not get ourselves in such big holes here.
great hockey looking piece
I'm not going in there to be the savior. I want to be a piece of a great hockey club. If I can be a little piece that can get it over the top, that's what I'm looking for.
chance forward looking routine
I'm just looking forward to getting into a little routine here in Carolina. I really haven't had a chance to do that.
definitely fast guys high move puck
It's very similar. There are a lot of guys that can move the puck and a lot of high scorers that are very fast and it's definitely a lot like that.
piece puzzle winning
I want to be a piece of the puzzle on a winning club.
effort extremely
It's inexcusable. The effort part is something that can be controlled, and it's not there right now. It's really, really, extremely frustrating for everybody.
dig great guys hard holes nice night obviously ourselves prepared quitting sign starts sure trying yourselves
It's great we didn't quit, but it sure would be nice to put ourselves in a different position. It's obviously a nice sign when the guys aren't quitting and still trying to do the right things. But obviously we have to be a little more prepared for the starts of games. It's too hard to dig yourselves into holes like this and try to come back every night like this.
both difference loss seems special urgency york
That seems to be the way it's going for us. Five-on-five, we're fine. Special units we aren't. It was the difference (Wednesday in a 3-1 loss to the New York Rangers) and it was the difference (Thursday). We have to play with a lot more urgency on both units.
aspect brought everybody good interested people wants whatever winning
They brought in some good people that are more interested in the winning aspect of the game. Obviously, everybody wants to play, but they're going to do whatever it takes.
continue five focused games positive stay sure work
We have to continue to play like that. Five on five we were still a better team. We just have to make sure we stay positive and stay focused and work on the things that are actually costing us games right now.
care guys philly playing situation trying
We all care about one thing and that's trying to win. I was in the same situation in Philly and there are always enough pucks, guys are playing their roles.
great guys help kids teach
We have a lot of great young kids here and there will be a need for some veterans, some guys who have been through it and if I can help teach some of them some of what I've learned, that would be tremendous.
