against chances exactly fault guys happen hard mistake tough work
My fault on the first (goal) and then we let another mistake happen and we're down 2-0 and that's exactly what we didn't want to do against these guys because they're a disciplined team, they work hard and they're tough to get chances against.
gave good job season
It's been a disappointing season for us. We gave a good effort. I don't know if we just weren't good enough to get the job done.
behind breaks needed played strong
It's unfortunate, we could have put them behind us a little bit. We played a strong game. We just didn't get the breaks when we needed them.
confidence doubt faster four lines lots obviously playing rolling team
They had all four lines rolling and they're obviously playing with lots of confidence right now. They were the faster team tonight, there's no doubt about it.
games prettiest
It wasn't the prettiest of games but nevertheless we will take the two points.
owes stuff taught team three treat
It was a treat being around him for three years. Not only me but the team owes him a lot from all the stuff he taught us. He's going to go down as one of the all-time greats.
chances few goal good played quite team tight
It was a tight game. We played a good team and unfortunately they got that goal on the power-play. At the end we had quite a few chances to get one, but we just couldn't do it.
mistake seems
We're fragile. It seems every mistake we make is in the net.
gives
With those two out, it gives you a pretty different look.
beat challenge game tight
When we challenge them and play a tight game and outwork them we beat them.
character instead sue trying
But if it was me, I'd be doing everything I could to get back and play and show everyone the character I have ... instead of trying to sue everyone.
confident
I'm confident we'll make it. It doesn't look like it right now but we'll find a way.
decide edmonton fate games hockey huge obviously starts three winning
We will find a way to get back to the winning ways. It starts obviously in Edmonton now with three huge games that are probably going to decide the fate of our hockey club.
looked shoot shot
Yeah, I looked at the shot clock. We have to shoot way more.
