assertive came good mistakes playoff start
Mistakes. I thought we were really assertive at the start of the game. We came out strong. We did everything but score. Kipper made some good saves. Then we started making mistakes. This is playoff hockey. You can't have that right now.

One second it looked like he was going to get his head taken off, the next everybody is shaking their head.
forward great lose obviously result
Obviously when you lose it's not a great feeling. That's why it's a seven-game series. The end result wasn't what we wanted but we've got to look forward to Sunday.

You can't dwell on it now. We've got two games left. We just dug ourselves a deeper hole and we've got to dig out of it.

We don't make it easy on ourselves. We talk about killer instinct. Why can't we make it easier on ourselves?I don't know what it is. We have to hope we have it for these last nine games.

We can't sit and dwell on it. We've got two games left. We dug ourselves a deeper hole and we have to find a way out of it.

We believe in ourselves in this locker room and once you start believing, things can happen.
coming compared detroit home loud series
It's nothing in Detroit (compared) to what it is in Edmonton. It's loud in Detroit but it's nothing compared to Edmonton. Coming home with the series tied, it's going to be amazing.
compared environment huge joe loud maybe playoff sound
It's loud here, but nothing compared to the playoff environment in Edmonton. That's a whole new level. Maybe the sound doesn't' funnel down here (at Joe Louis) but it's huge in Edmonton.
confidence fighting night
Confidence is a big part of the game. He had it tonight. The other night I thought he was fighting it.

It was nice to see the fans out there like that after what we went through during the CBA.
