Our big win against Nashville means nothing if we didn't win this one. |
That's not fun. Hockey is no fun if you aren't playing for anything. |
The guys played well. Minnesota played really well... It's kind of weird saying that. |
There's no doubt they didn't play their best game. Flat? Yeah. And in the second half of the game they might have been coasting around a little bit. |
Wasn't a good trip, no doubt. I thought we played well the last two games; we just didn't get rewarded for it. We've got to find a way to win the tighter games. |
We fell apart for 20 minutes, and it cost us the game. |
We got in trouble early. We were in the box a lot. |
We've got to find a way to get him a win because he deserves it ? more than anyone. |
When you go 0-3, there's not a lot of satisfaction or sense of accomplishment. Obviously, guys are frustrated. |
When you're a desperate team, you do whatever it takes. |
You can hear it. You chuckle when you see them get on a guy like that. But it means a guy must be doing something to get that kind of reaction. |
You lose teammates, but you don't lose friends. It's a good situation for him. He's a good goalie, and they're lucky to get him. |
You've heard me say it before: There needs to be more desperation in the room, more passion. In the past, our niche was we worked hard no matter what. That's been our identity. This last little stretch, that hasn't happened. |
