That's good, but over the course of an 82-game schedule it's going to wear a team down. |
They'll provide leadership, and you already have a solid young core of up-and-coming players. And when you have a world-class goaltender like Roberto, it makes for a good mix. |
This team is on the upswing. I'm very anxious and very thankful to be a part of this for the next little while. |
Twenty-five games isn't a lot with the ground we have to make up. |
We have been awful vocal against the referees this year and that might be coming back to bite us. I think we just have to shut our mouths and go out and play. |
We have to get on our horse and start climbing. We have to make a push when we get back. |
We just let down in all areas -- power play and penalty kill -- and it cost us. It was embarrassing for everybody. We were embarrassed to play like that in front of our fans. They've supported us all year. We had a pretty good crowd tonight and to come out like that is extremely disappointing. |
We've been playing at a high level now for a month-and-a-half but there's no excuses. We let down in all areas. We're embarrassed to play like that in front of our fans. |
We've played a month of playoff games. I think for the age of our team, guys have done a pretty good job. We've battled pretty hard and are going to continue to battle. It's unfortunate we couldn't have a little slip-up. |
When Gary went down, it deflated our bench a bit. |
When you come in as a high draft pick, you do have a lot of pressure put on you -- not necessarily thrust upon you by your own team, maybe outside sources that have expectations. |
Yeah, but over the course of an 82-game schedule, it's going to begin to wear a team down. We can't ask Louie to make those saves every night. It's putting a lot of pressure on him. |
You might put 100 bucks down that you'll beat your former team. It's nothing big. It's more for bragging rights than anything else. |
You're on a four- to five-hour plane ride going across the country and there's only so many movies you can watch and you can only talk to your buddy for so long. Guys sitting at the back of the plane sometimes will make bets. |
