bad dumb finally gave good last played score snow takes teams took worried
I think Snow played a good game. I thought he gave us a chance. We let him down. That's the last person I'm worried about. We took lazy, dumb non-hard working penalties. It only takes one bad clear, one play. Good teams finally score on you. That's what happened.
best excuse goes injuries means opportunity played players team
It's a loss, no doubt. Shawn had been one of our best players of late. But every team goes through injuries and it won't be an excuse for us. Shawn played a lot, so this means opportunity for other players.
deserved played
We deserved better. I thought we played pretty well.
good period played points seemed skate
We'll take the two points any way we can. We played a good 45 minutes. It seemed in the first period we couldn't or wouldn't skate with them.
notch plain played respond smart team took
I thought we played well the first two periods. But when the other team took it up a notch in the third, we did not respond with smart hockey, plain and simple.
few last plain played
I didn't think he's played very well the last few games, plain and simple.
played
For the first 50 minutes, I thought we played pretty well.
missed net
We missed the net a lot. A lot more than I'd like to admit.
attitude effort future job lose morning question spoke stays
I spoke with Bruno this morning and I'll tell you what I told him. He didn't lose the job. He did everything he could. If his attitude stays the same it always is with him -- upbeat, you never question his effort -- he'll be fine. Bruno has a future with us.
early report saw surprised
The way he went down didn't look good, but we'll know (Saturday). The early report was that it wasn't too bad, but I haven't got a report as of yet. I saw he was pretty sore, so I wasn't surprised he couldn't come back.
center chipping deep good supposed teams
We got away from the little things. Chipping when you're supposed to, getting to center ice, we don't get it in deep like we're supposed to. The little things that good teams do, we didn't do.
game heels next point rangers score turning
That was the turning point of the game for us. If the Rangers score the next goal, it would probably have set us back on our heels a bit.
almost chance four gotten guys lines penalty playing point score until
I was playing almost four lines up until that point but you take a penalty and they score a goal, I can't take a chance that you're going to take another penalty, so I went with the guys who had gotten us to that point, and the other guys had gotten us to that point.
excited surprised
I think he was excited to be back. No, I'm not surprised he did what he did.
