We had lots of energy early. Lots of things went our way. |
We had more structure, but our penalty parade took us out of the hockey game. You can't continually give teams the quality of Dallas power plays. They made us pay. |
We had three two-on-ones against us today and it resulted in three goals. You don't play loose and you don't give up those types of quality scoring chances and expect to win and I think we were fortunate to get a point. |
We have to get points out of it. We're playing teams that are all in our conference. |
We have to make sure our players are disciplined to the point, where they can't put themselves or their team in a situation that's going to cost their hockey club goals, momentum, whatever you want to call it. |
We have to step up as a group. There are no ifs, ands or buts. We didn't play anywhere near the level required (Tuesday). They won more one-on-one battles than we did. They started with the puck more often. They got inside and they were more physical than we were. We have to match that. |
We made a decision probably three weeks ago that we were going to go with some of these guys. We made a list of six or seven, and those players were on it. We thought we'd change it up a bit. |
We played a lot harder tonight than we have in a lot of our games, particularly on the road. |
We put a little too much pressure on him by taking too many penalties. |
We put ourselves in a position to win. We just have to find ways to close those ones out. |
We really stayed with our work ethic. Our players seem to enjoy that. |
We took a different approach, doing some off-ice stuff. The players would rather do that than come to the rink and get skated. We had a little laugh, a little team bonding and it really showed tonight. We had lots of energy early. |
We took far too many penalties, and we got worn down. The fatigue started to set in. The second period, things started to get a little crazy, and we got out of sync. Fortunately, we were able to get it back. |
We took some inopportune penalties at critical points. We gave them too many opportunities and too many quality chances. |
We took some penalties at crucial points. We just didn't defend well. We had our opportunities, we just didn't manage to get the puck past Nabokov. |
