They won the game for us, that's for sure. They had three or four power plays, then five-on-three. The one thing is they don't score, plus they were using their top players and getting frustrated, too. |
They're hot and it's always great to play your best hockey before the playoffs. But it's going to stop somewhere, you know? Nothing lasts forever and hopefully we can stop them. But it's not going to be easy. |
This is not the way you want to go into the playoffs. They're hot, but it has to stop somewhere. |
This is probably the most surprising season, my season and the team's. For a lot of people around the league. |
To me, it was fast, too. But that's the way it's going to be. I think it's going to be even faster when the players get into shape. Don't forget they didn't play for a year. So heads up. |
Tom is a great guy. He's not only a good coach but I think he understands the life of the hockey player and how important it is off the ice to treat the players. The chemistry on the team is great and, so far, it's been fun for everybody here. |
Two weeks, I can't get rid of it. It gets worse and worse and I cannot take anything. I can't sleep from the coughing. |
Until we win a game, of course it's slipping away. We don't play the same way for whatever reason. I just hope it's the injuries. When we have all our guys back healthy, then I can answer that. |
Until we win some games, of course things are slipping away. I said all year long, and I don't want to make it as an excuse, but anytime somebody goes down from our first two lines, it's tough for us to replace ... We don't play the same way for whatever reason. I just hope it's the injuries. |
We already had eight rookies on the team. Now we've got five more. |
We didn't do it yet and it's too early to celebrate. We have to make sure we get in the playoffs first and take care of other business later. |
We didn't respond to the stuff they played. We weren't smart enough. |
We didn't start very well. Since then we have been playing pretty good. |
We don't score many goals. Of course, I'm frustrated. Who wouldn't be? You don't want to lose three straight at home. And you've got a tough schedule coming up to. I'm more upset than frustrated. |
We gave the other team a lot of odd-man rushes. Maybe we are tired and we're making mistakes, but this is not the way you want to go into the playoffs. |
