chance developed good gotten great
Every chance he's gotten to play he's been great for us. He's really developed into a good goaltender.
good key played power
Our power play was good tonight. It's such a key thing the way the game's played now.
effort good needed penalties power repeating took
I feel like I'm repeating myself. I think we were undisciplined, we took too many penalties and I think our power play wasn't as good as we needed it. The effort was there at times, just not at the right times.
against came early few good gotten mirror preparing ready start time
We came out flat. We've gotten away with a few (awful starts) against lesser-skilled teams, but I think it's time for us to take a good look in the mirror now and start preparing to find a way to be ready early in games.
best good maybe road stuck time winning
Any time you can come back from 3-0 and 4-2, it's great. It maybe wasn't the best of games, but we stuck with it. Winning two out of three, it's a good road trip.
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.
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.
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.
desperate fresh start team
We got a fresh start here tonight. We're a desperate team and we need the wins.
doubt initiate
We didn't initiate anything. There was no doubt they were outworking us.
finish seemed simple tonight tried trying work
We didn't have the bounces tonight and it's as simple as that. It seemed like everything they tried went in and then we're trying to work our way back and we just couldn't finish it.
bond changes create deep expect friendship guys time together
We all expect some changes to be made. It's sad, especially for this group. We've been together such a long time that you create a deep bond and friendship with the guys in here.
came caught flying focus individual teams trademark
I don't have the answers. It has to do with individual focus that we're not ready. It used to be our trademark that we always came out flying and caught a lot of teams by surprise, and we haven't had it this year.
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.
