forgotten good
We have a good team. This can all be forgotten soon.
busy few guys missing
I wasn't too busy (last night), ... They were missing a few of their guys but I thought I did pretty well.
chances good shooting stop taking
We've been getting some two-on-one chances or breakaways, but we're not taking the shots. We're shooting too much from the sides. Any goalie in the NHL is good enough to stop those.
against crucial good hard struggling team win
We had crucial breakdowns against a good team and that is not going to work. It's hard to win when you are making mistakes. Sometimes you can get away with mistakes, but we're struggling right now.
playing season ups
We are not playing good. But it is a long season and there are always ups and downs.
chances critical defensive good played team
We played a little better, but we still have critical defensive breakdowns. You can't give a good team as many chances as we did.
game good played power skated strong
We played a good all-around game and it showed on the scoreboard. We skated well. We had a strong power play. We hit. We did all the right things to win.
gave name playing power third tired took
We gave them too many chances. Power play, 5-on-3, 4-on-3, you name it. Playing back-to-back, we were tired in the third period. They took advantage.
cancel danger decision friend front immediate life lost national
It was the right decision to cancel our other game, especially being his friend from our national team. You put life in front of everything because he was in immediate danger and he could've lost his life.
against detroit expect win
It was an embarrassing effort. We got outplayed and outscored. If you expect to play like that and win against Detroit that's impossible.
giving hold last league playing red shots start three
I don't know if it's the Red Wings. We've been giving up that many shots about the last three weeks. We're not playing well defensively. If you want to win, you have to start in your own zone. You can't give up 40, 45 shots every night. Especially in this league where you can't hold guys, you can't give up these kind of chances.
bunch came goals guys
I didn't do very good. But our guys came through and scored a bunch of goals and that's why we won.
cost impact lost marginal penalty player thrown
A player like (Parker) shouldn't be in the NHL anyway. The penalty cost us more than them. We got an impact player thrown out. They lost a marginal player.
