We lost a number of battles for the puck that turned out to be costly. |
We lost one of our penalty-killing forwards (O'Neill) early, not the kind of game you want at this point, |
We may after (this) afternoon ... but the feeling was let's ride another week and then we'll see where we stand. From a coach's standpoint, I want to start getting it down now, but I understand that we want to look at some guys and we probably have 37, 38 guys that we want to look at intensely. |
We may yet see that. |
We often didn't have nights where we had all 20 guys all going. |
We played a lot better and so that has to be looked at as an improvement, especially over Saturday night. We weren't that bad in the other games but it was not good enough to win, I guess. But the effort was better. |

We played a lot better, so that has to be looked at as an improvement. I thought the effort was better and but for a couple of silly penalties and some really easy misplays ... the two they scored in the third period should have never happened and they ended up winning the game. |
We really have to be ready to play Atlanta. (They're) one of the clubs we're jockeying with for a playoff spot. That's not where we want to end up focusing, but that's where it has to be for the next little while. |
We still got to keep plugging away until we're mathematically eliminated. We know we need them to fall down a little bit, clearly, because we'll run out of time here. |
We stopped checking and it's why we lost the game, ... Our forwards did not do much in the offensive zone except get caught. The last 10 minutes, they did not pick anything up. We just gave them a lot of room. |
We stopped checking and that's why we lost the game ... We couldn't stop the last play. It looked like it should have been stopped, but we didn't do it. We can't win games like that at the end, and if we think we can we're fooling ourselves. |
We stopped checking and that's why we lost the game. |
We thought about switching every day and creating new lines but then we decided not to, ... The whole idea here was the introduction of some concepts of play. Rather then have them worrying about adjusting to new guys every day, we wanted them to concentrate and focus on trying to absorb the system we want to play. |
We want to finish as high as we can. First place means a [sure] playoff spot. |
