bad checks finished good played stuck
We finished our checks and we played well and we stuck with it, through good shifts and bad shifts.
game goal goals last loss minute mistakes played team third toughest turning
That's the toughest loss I've ever had. I'm kind of dumbfounded considering they're the team that played last night. You get a goal a minute into the third and they're doing it their way and they're losing. It's not everybody, but when we play our game plan, we're successful. We're making mistakes on little things that are turning around for goals for them.
bigger games guys played sharp specialty teams won
These two games were probably a lot bigger than even the guys realize. These were pretty big games. I don't think we played as well as we can play, but we did what we had to do to win. I thought our goaltending was very sharp when it had to be, and our specialty teams won (Saturday's) game for us.
created dug eight minutes nine period played stand time
Say what you want about (goals) three, four, five, six, seven, eight and nine, but the first two killed us. Once again, you look up and it's 14 minutes to go in the first period and we've dug a hole. Nothing went right for us and everything went right for them, but at the same time they created nine goals. They played hard. We have to stand up to that better.
cut good last lines matter mistakes played players result scores three tonight
They played well, but all three lines did. We cut down our mistakes line after line. Tonight was the result of good teamwork. Last night it was Phillips' line. It doesn't matter what line scores the goals. When you play like that, it's going to be different players every night.
basically building game home
You basically look at we have a Game 7 in our home building (tonight).
guys learning lesson stick win
Tonight, I think that was as important a learning lesson as well as a win to show the guys here that if they stick with it, what they can accomplish.
bother good held power
We've held them on their power play, too. We've got good chances. I can't say that our power play didn't get good chances. It did. The power play doesn't really bother me.
bench looked net
On the bench it looked like the net moved. But you can't really see from the bench.
best matter playing playoff point team worst
Right now, every game's a big game. It doesn't matter who you're playing. When you're in a playoff race, it doesn't matter if you're playing the best team or the worst team. Every point counts.
held skill
I think they held up pretty well. We had a lot of skating, a lot of skill work. I think they did pretty good.
bigger gesture good great picture terry
Terry called me, and I thought it was a great gesture on his part. We're rivals, but this is bigger than that. This is good for the league, and I think that's the big picture tonight.
definitely point
I think every point right now is important. We want two, but one is definitely better than nothing. So we'll take it.
best healthy moves player
For us, of all the moves made I think we got the best player that's been moved. For us now, we have to get healthy and we have to get going again.
