'Louie won the game for us. |
(Bouwmeester is) definitely a candidate. |
(The line) played very well. We got a strong game out of that line. We played just three lines and got a strong effort from all three. |
A lot of areas were exploited tonight. But you learn from these games, and you need to be better next time. |
A lot of these young guys are going to be expected to work on things that will make them better next year. (Horton) is a strong kid, but he needs to work on his flexibility, on developing his quickness. |
And now because it's not a reality, there's no reason to pack it in. You have a responsibility to react properly and show what kind of individual you are. |
At one angle it looked like it had gone in, but we had three chances. We just have to regroup and be better. We knew they were going to come hard, and they did. |
By no means is Jay at the same level as Scott as far as experience. But his skating was a factor. Also the fact that he's played well for Team Canada at the World Championships and played well at the World Cup when he was called upon. He made a great impression. |
Five on five competed pretty good. We outscored them. We took too many penalties and when we did take the penalties we couldn't keep the puck out of the net. |
For sure, especially driving to where I live, some of the areas were really [bad]. |
For the last five years, this organization has moved people at the deadline. |
Give them credit, they worked harder than us. They got two short-handed goals and that was the difference. |
Giving that third goal was really the turning point. We had the momentum. |
He didn't produce for he amount of ice time he had. We need to change our identity a bit. After being sat for a game, he came back strong. But on our last road trip, I didn't think his play was up to par. I should have been giving someone else that opportunity. |
He has tremendous talent and has a great nose for the net. |
