We wanted to play a European game today, just all kinds of East-West and not North-South in our game. The Swiss team came to work. ... At the end of the night, they probably got a just reward. |
We were a little bit better. All in all, it was a good outing, but we've got a lot of work to do. |
We were a pretty decent team up to Jan. 1. Then it disappeared. |
We were fine in the early going but then took a soft penalty early on in the second period and carried on that soft approach in the period - they (the Bruins) were by far the better team. You just can't play that way. We can't expect our goalie to keep winning games for us. |
We were hoping to have him healthy. You wouldn't think it would be something like a wrist (that could end his career.) That's bad luck. |
We were sort of playing in a defensive mindset. |
We weren't as good a team as we needed to be. As hard as our guys tried tonight, it wasn't good enough to advance. |
We weren't quick enough to adapt to that game. |
We weren't sharp, I guess you can rationalize (the two penalties), but it was another turnover night for us. ... Penalties and turnovers hurt us. |
We'll continue until we find the right combinations. |
We'll evaluate that workout and we'll make a judgement from there whether he's coming or he needs more time. Talking to Ed, comparing it to the last time, he wanted to nip it in the bud and that's why he sought the treatment as quickly as he did. He feels that he's going to be fine, but he's also not the doctor either, but I guess he knows himself pretty well and he feels he'll have the one workout and then come and join us. That will still be a medical and personal decision. |
We'll probably think about it a lot. We have a talented group that does score in the National Hockey League, but the bottom line was that we had to come together as a team and we didn't do it as well as we needed to. |
We'll talk about it ... there are no certainties right now. We'll try between us all to make the right decision for Tuesday (against the Bruins). |
We're counting on him to be here. |
We're counting on him to be here. It's a tough spot to play Sunday night several thousand miles away and expect him to be in the lineup here. |
