It makes it tough to stop a team when you can't focus on one line. One of our biggest strengths is that maybe one guy can't score every night, but somebody can score every night. |
It may not necessarily be an easy way to do things. |
It seems like, any time there was a breakdown, they ended up scoring. |
It sparked me. I was inspired by it. Rosie's not a very big guy, and Matt's a very big part of our team. The fact he went and immediately stuck up for a teammate speaks volumes about Rosie, as well as the group itself. |
It was a big game for us. For him to be a dominating player like that, against a good team, that says a lot about how far he has come as a player in this league. He's not watching anymore. He's part of the reason why we're having the success we are. |
It was a couple of breakdowns that cost us. |
It was a fatigue issue tonight. There just wasn't a whole lot of energy. I'm not making excuses, because we had a game on the schedule tonight. It's the last game at the end of a long trip, and we're expected to win that game. |
It was a frustrating night for the players, myself, the fans...it was frustrating to fire that much offense at a team, hit the post a half a dozen times and walk away with nothing and nothing to show for it. |
It was a frustrating night. I guess the only positive you can take is you have to win four games, not just one. We get to come back and play again in a couple of nights right here in our own building. |
It was a frustrating night. Offensively we had a whole bunch of chances and a whole bunch of shots on net and came away with one goal. Defensively we held them to seven shots a period and probably in the range of four or five quality chances a period. It was a frustrating night. I guess the only positive you can take is you have to win four games, not just one. |
It was a full-fledged march to the offensive zone. However we could get there, we were just going to keep our foot on the gas and keep going after it. |
It was a terrific hockey game. We put our best foot forward as a team. There's still more for us to give and more for us to do. What's disappointing is not to take the win and get the points, but I think we can take some confidence from it. |
It was good for our guys to have a day off. I liked the way we played against Kazakhstan, and we'll have to take another step forward to be successful against Slovakia. |
It was good for the guys to score some goals on the power play. We came out real flat, and that was a bit of a concern for me. ? We're a skating team, and when we skate we're successful. When we don't, we're going to be looking from the backside in. |
It was important for us to snap back right away. I think you could get a sense in the locker room that the guys were ready to play. |
