box chance dealing early game incapable late obvious ourselves penalty stay types
You're in the 'big parade' now, and you have to participate. If we give ourselves the chance to play five-on-five hockey, then who knows? This is something that's been in our game early in the season, late in the season, and it's obvious that we are incapable of dealing with these types of situations. We have to stay out of the penalty box to give ourselves a chance.
becomes benefit box clear dealing doubt happy incapable nor obviously ourselves parade penalty pressure situations stay suggest types
Obviously the penalty parade would suggest I'm not completely happy at all, nor should (the players) be. There's no benefit of the doubt in the playoffs. You're in the big parade now and you've got to participate. It becomes obviously clear we're incapable of dealing with the pressure of these types of situations well enough to stay out of the penalty box and give ourselves a chance.

We have to stay out of the penalty box to give ourselves a chance. The one thing I know for sure is that we are not going to beat the New Jersey Devils from the penalty box.

It was hormone hockey at it's best. It might have been entertaining, but for a coach it was a nightmare.
net pushed quite rebound sure tough
I'm not so sure we pushed the envelope, quite honestly. When you don't make it tough for the opponent, it's not real tough to defend. We didn't have a lot of net drive. We didn't have a lot of rebound opportunities.

I'm not ready to wave the white flag on . We will have better nights than tonight.

I'm not really willing to put him in (tonight), to be honest with you. I'd like to see him (tomorrow) and see how he's making out.
angry becoming blow challenge closer hope obviously playoff respond step terrific
I'm not going to blow a gasket or anything like that. But I'm angry that we didn't respond to another terrific challenge for us - another step to becoming better and nailing down respect. And another step closer we obviously hope to a playoff spot.

I learned a highly valuable lesson in Vancouver about European players. You have to give your stars . . . the latitude to do extraordinary things.

I hope we're developing a reputation as a team that's tough to beat, whether at home or on the road. I hope that we're being identified as a team that plays a responsible game without the puck, that we are solid from the goaltender out.
