They're playing as a team, that's why they're winning, that's why they're leading their division. They deserved the win, with a good goalie and good defense. |
They're the best team in the league and we played well against them this weekend. |
This is definitely a big step. I knew our team was going to get better this year, with or without Adam Foote. Now, with the free-agent market, we get a guy like Adam. He will push our players to be better and they're going to compete hard every night. |
This is the kind of season Nashville is having this year. They find a way to scratch out wins. We seem to find a way to lose this year. But we definitely had a chance to win. |
This one didn't have much intensity. It was two teams playing back-to-back games against each other, and nobody wanted to get hurt. It might have been exciting for the fans, but not for the coaches. |
To be honest, Chicago outplayed us in both games. They're going through a tough time, and the hockey gods have been with us. |
To me, the biggest thing is we get a chance to clear the puck and we don?t clear the puck and we end up out on the ice for a long stretch of time. And the puck ends up in the net. Little things turn into big things. |
To stop those three guys is a feat in itself. |
Vancouver came in here and they haven't been playing very well. They didn't play very well tonight either, but they played better than us. |
We can look so good on two or three power plays a night. And then on the rest of them we looked like we?d never been on a power play in our lives. |
We didn't show up to play for a period and a half and it cost us the hockey game. We played a great third period, but it's just one period -- we can't do it for 60 minutes. That's been our problem all season long. |
We gave one away tonight. |
We got into trouble with the penalties and lost a lot of momentum in the second. |
We had a lot of breakdowns and gave them a lot of scoring chances. |
We had a lot of good scoring chances in the first half. Then they went up 5-2 and it's pretty hard to come back against that team. I was looking for a great finish to the hockey game, but we got into trouble and they capitalized. |
