It was a game where we carried the play and they carried the play for a while. It was a big game and unfortunately, they got the final shot (on power play) and we didn't. It's just sad. |
It was a good game. Their power-play made the difference. Towards the end we got a couple of good chances but we couldn't get the equalizer. |
It was a photocopy, just in reverse. |
It was like a photocopy (of the second period), just reverse it. |

It's a matter of playing our game. Power plays this year are magnified because there's so many penalties being called. In all the games, you're going to get some power plays if you skate. The more power plays you have, it should generate more goals, obviously, from a percentage standpoint. |
It's a matter of showing respect to the entire team, the organization and the fans. I hope he'll learn from this. |
It's funny how human nature works. You get a big guy back, and suddenly you think that the goals are just going to come. |
It's just another important win. They're all big wins. We're desperate. We didn't get the start (of the game) we were looking for. But we got back to our game and got some great goals. (It's) just another two points and there's a lot of hockey to be played. |
It's not like one player out of 600 is playing with an illegal stick. The list of guys playing with illegal sticks is pretty known around the league. It's like speeding on the road. You're not allowed to speed, but sit beside the 55-mph sign on I-85 at night and put your radar on it. Many people will easily go over. |
It's only one game. It's not the end of the world. |
It's too bad that we gave up that goal at the end, but that's going to happen. We found a way to come back and win it, which is a sign of a team that is desperate, but we're still on a mission. |
It's tough, because if you lose, you obviously lose ground, and if you win, you stay there. We just have to keep winning games and hope teams start getting in trouble. |
It's two incidents basically a couple of games apart. It's bad timing. We're playing obviously awful right now, so obviously everything is thrown at us and rightfully so. Right now, we're getting what we deserve, it's as simple as this. |
Just the way those guys battled all night, it's easy to say we have a desire to be in the playoffs. We faced tons of adversity (Thursday night). Read between the lines. |
