amount bit character fighting hung kept second solid sports stayed tough tremendous
It showed a tremendous amount of character. We hung in there. We had a little bit of a tough second period, but not horrible, and then we were able to come back in the third. We kept fighting back and we stayed in the game. We had a pretty solid effort.
anywhere confident ourselves road
We feel confident going on the road as we do anywhere else. We've got to get something done. We haven't done it yet. We're disappointed in ourselves and we've got to get back on it.
division fighting fights-and-fighting good left step title toward work
We're fighting for the division title and this is a good step toward that, but we still have a little work left to do.
although competition decisions defense gives guys starting
We're starting to get our guys back who were hurt, which is great, although it gives us a lot of decisions to make. There's competition on defense for who's going to be in the lineup each and every night, which is good.
competing fantastic great intensity player playing
I thought he was great tonight. And that's the way we need him to play every night. With that same intensity and that same drive. He's a fantastic player when he's competing and playing hard.
case great guys playing
That was a great play by Troy. That was another case of our guys playing with great heart.
beat game good hockey minutes supposed work
That's the way we're supposed to play. And (the Game 5 loss) wasn't the way we were supposed to play. If we work for 60 minutes, we've got a good hockey team. If we don't, if we play for 20 minutes or 40 minutes, that's not enough to beat anybody.
bring compete composure confident discipline good ourselves playing playoff position time
I think we feel confident that we have a good team. But the thing at playoff time is we've got to bring more discipline and more composure than we've been playing with. The jury's still out, but I think we've put ourselves in a position that we can compete with anybody.
good played
We played well in the first, and we didn't play well after that. Obviously, that's not good enough. We can't play 20 minutes.
defended energy played
We played 60 minutes. We defended with energy and we played with urgency.
couple enjoy minutes start
We have another couple minutes to enjoy it. Then we have to start working on tomorrow.
depth five four gives lots move played players playing quality
It gives us quality players back there and lots of depth. For a while there, we were playing with five 'D' for a whole month, I think and for a while we played with four 'D' for a little bit. You need the depth as you move on.
city finally game good odd period played series urgency
It's been an odd series for us. We played a good first period and then we let Quad City take the game to us in the second. We finally showed that urgency in the third.
good points time
At this time of year, every two points is a good win. We'll take it, and we have to try and get two more tomorrow.
