Our penalty kill has done an exceptional job. All the guys involved, forwards included, are working together. To kill off as many penalties as we did against the hottest team in the league right now is a huge credit to how hard the guys are working. |
Our record is 44-19 for a good reason. We have a team in here that can play and can play with a record like that. It's a matter of believing in each other and going out and executing. |
Some games, momentum can be gained or lost through special teams. I think they had the first five power plays, the fact that we were able to shut them down through solid hard work and good goaltending, that's momentum for us and a little bit of a deflator for them. |
That right there did it. |
That was a big goal. We've been going real good on the (penalty kill). |
That's something new. It was rewarding that once we got the lead we didn't sit back. We kept pushing forward. In the past we've been sitting back and letting teams get that extra goal. |
That's the worse loss I've ever been a part of. |
That's the worst loss I've ever been a part of. We were dominated all over the ice in every area. We played like a team that is out of the playoffs and they played like a team that is comfortably in the playoffs. |
There's no excuses, we didn't play well. We're unhappy with anything less than two points. |
They got momentum off that. The whole game could have been different. It's not acceptable for them not to see it. A guy gets paid to do that job. There's absolutely no reason that should be a goal. |
This is not saying that the QO will not at one point still be accepted. We'll just wait and see where the negotiations go. |
To do it in Southern California would be much more costly. You definitely get more for your money in Phoenix. |
Tom certainly stands out as somewhat of a savior in keeping this team in the city. Without his stepping in, who knows what would have happened. |
We didn't open any doors for them. I just think they got some bounces. I'm not going to say they won by chance. They played strong and deserved to win. |
We didn't play well enough to deserve the win. |
