That's no fun to miss the playoffs. The World Championships was great, but you want to play in the playoffs. That's why you play the 82 games, so to go home early is no fun. Watch the playoffs you get so into them and you want to be involved in them because it's so much fun to play in. To not be able to play in the postseason is really tough to take. |
The first ten minutes of the game we were down 3-0. That makes it hard for us and we got it back and we didn't get a win again. |
The way they move the puck is fun to watch, |
Those are huge moments that I'll always remember. And I'll never forget the last game we played there before moving to Phoenix. It was the loudest building I've ever been in for a sporting event ever. I couldn't hear what my teammates were saying. |
To get momentum like that is huge. We've got to find a way to keep it going. We've let it slip away too many times. |
Tonight I think we picked up our desperation and urgency. We need to do that, or else we were going to be in trouble. |
We can't stress enough the specialty teams and how important they are. If you want to win in the league now you have to have a good power play and then that's going to make it a lot easier. |
We don't have any room to lose. Every loss for us is huge. |
We had some big goals to keep tying it up, but we needed to find a way to get that lift and to get the one to get the lead. We never managed to get the lead. |
We have to stick together now. No one is going to feel sorry for us. We have to find ways to pull ourselves out of this. |
We just haven't played with enough urgency when we've played them. |
We played the whole game in our zone and we can't afford to do that. This is a challenge to each one of us in this room to be better. |
When we play as a team with five men, we're solid. It's when we get trying to do individual stuff that we really struggle. |
When you get a chance to play with him you know it's going to be creative, it's going to be fun. Nothing is better than that when you play hockey. |
You grow up playing five games in three days in tournaments. It's like going back to peewee hockey again. |
