ability blame game great responsibility took
In a game like this you don't want to take any undisciplined penalties. He took responsibility, he didn't blame the referee. After that, his ability took over on what was just a great play.
games goal key knew lead second tie tonight took whoever wind worked
We wanted to get this game, but it was one of those games where we knew whoever got the lead was going to win. Tonight we never got the lead. The key goal was their second goal. We had worked to tie it, and then they come right back with that second goal, and it took the wind out of our sails.
created milwaukee momentum press took
I think Milwaukee started to press because they had the momentum but could score. They took some chances, and we created opportunities.
good puck rush supposed
Stokes made a very good play and jumped into the rush like you're supposed to do there. He got the puck and put it where he had to put it.
huge led mistake period second third
(That goal) was huge for us because of the circumstances in the game. It's better to get that third because we make a mistake in the third period that led to their second score.
confidence fine hockey left line lots quite time walk
There's time for things to happen, still lots of hockey left to play. But there's a fine line between confidence and arrogance, and we've been able to walk that line quite well.
competing easy game results
It's not about who were playing. It's up to us. We haven't had an easy game all year. We're competing on a nightly basis. We now have to get the results for that competition.
coach
I'm a coach, and I wanted to coach at the professional level.
came fresh game hard omaha
It's important not to get frustrated, and I really don't think we came into this game that way. We just wanted to get a fresh start, but Omaha comes at you hard here.
bit breaks luck needed previous tonight
Tonight we got some breaks around the net, which I thought was really important. We hadn't been getting those in the previous games. Tonight we got a little bit of luck and we needed it.
finish race scoring seemed
Those two right from day one seemed to jell offensively. For Erik and Kirby to finish one and two in the scoring race is great.
early losing stretch won
Early in the season, we won this kind of game, but we're in a stretch where we're losing them and have to get back on track.
blood deserved draw game home huge playoffs sure time toughest win year
The toughest game to win in the playoffs is your first home game. And I'm not sure we even deserved to win the game. But it's a huge win, because every win at this time of the year is big. To draw first blood is really important for us.
ahead bit came good moved puck relaxed
After we went ahead 5-2, we relaxed a little bit and they came on. They moved the puck real good and made some things happen, but we were better in the third.
