We had a bad game. We had a terrible game. If we want to have a chance to go to the semifinals, we have to be better than we were tonight. We're professional athletes and we want to give the best. We're always going to give 110 percent. There's been no talk about anything else in our dressing room. |
We have no one to blame but ourselves. It shouldn't have come down to this late in the season. It's our own fault. |
We have the players in this dressing room to make the playoffs. |
We have to get away from that. We have to cut down on the breakdowns in our end. |
We have to go for it this year. |
We have to look at what we can control, and we had a lot of chances at the net. ... We can't do any more than we have been, we just have to keep coming with this kind of effort and the wins will come. |
We just have to get away from that - doing the mistakes that we're doing. We've got to simplify our game and get back on track. |
We need everyone playing very well, we need everyone chipping in something and making a contribution for us to win games like that. |
We played good for a long stretch. We have to get back to the things we were doing. If we can do that, we can get back to winning some games again. |
We were back on our heels far too much. |
We were flat and looked disorganized out there. To be able to come back and win is huge. You're going to win some games ugly and we did. We'll take the two points but we realize we didn't have our best game. |
We were in disarray for awhile, squeezing our sticks and thinking too much, but we snapped out of it. |
We were ready to play, there's no doubt about that. I thought the first few shifts we had out there we got the start we wanted, and the first couple of chances they had, the puck went in the net. Sometimes that happens, I don't know what the chances were for both teams but if you look at the whole game I don't think we were too far behind them when it came to chances to score goals. |
We'll see what the coaches want to try, ... I'm sure they'll try different combinations as the exhibition season starts here, but I think we all have to be flexible and I think everybody realizes that there's only four spots here for centres and we'll have to figure out who's going to skate with who. |
We're doing the small things well and we're getting better every time out. I thought we played two good games this weekend and came away with three points. |
