[Suddenly, a spa weekend turned into a motivational retreat.] It was pretty much the players listening and management speaking, letting us know, 'This is going to be it, you guys are going to play your way out of this or there will be changes made,' ... Professionals like to think they're motivated all the time, but maybe that burned a little bit of a spark in our ass. |

I watched the goal from the penalty box. I saw it go in before it went into the net. It seemed like it was going in slow motion. |
It was a judgment call by Kelly, ... He felt that someone pushed (Schaefer) into the net before the puck went across the line, and it couldn't be reviewed. |

We had some success and it was probably going to come to an end sooner or later. Those were huge points for us all season long. |
We had to win tonight. I took a bad penalty late. |
We have time for discussion, and I'm open to anything, one year, five years, eight years, ... I'd just like to see what they're thinking. |
We just didn't have the jump right away. We expected a big game from them because they've been hot. |
We missed him. He's so reliable back there. |
