It's the most important part to get the win and don't give them a point. If you look at that way, we can say we are satisfied with our game. We got the win. Sometimes it will be ugly, and it was one of them, an ugly one tonight. |
Kipper is a confident guy right now back there and, defensively, they're one of the best teams in the league. |
Kipper is a confident guy right now back there and, defensively, they're one of the best teams in the league. Their identity is they're not going to score four or five goals, they're going to score two or three, but it's going to be enough to win. |
Penalties got us into trouble in the second period and they capitalized on that. |
Penalties killed us and it started probably from me. We fell apart. And it's what good teams are not supposed to do. |
Sometimes you don't have to score four goals. We have to find a way to win the 2-1 and 1-0 games. |
The penalties started the problems, and I fell apart. We have to get better. We all fell apart out there in key situations. Penalties cost us games in Los Angeles (on Monday night) and here. |
They capitalized on our penalties. We need everyone on the same page, and it starts with me. One mistake ends up costing us the game. This seems to be the story all season. |
They might be a little bit fatigued, but we don't care. We're trying to get together our own team and keep going on this roll. |
They took away everything. I think the Finns showed them how to play against us. |
They tried to frustrate us and they played hard. But we stuck to the game plan and got the result and that was the important part. |
Until it's over, I'm not going to tell you it's over. |
We came into the third period thinking offense, offense, offense. If we're going to think that way we're not going to go too far. |
We can say right now that we do have momentum, but we all know how that can change. |
We didn't play well, that's the bottom line. We got what we deserved. |
