We've got to be better. We've got to realize what's being called, what's not being called, use better judgment. |
We've had some success both games at home against them. We've played well. We have to continue that. I'm sure they're going to be ready for us. |
Wednesday has passed. [Friday] we had a different challenge to beat these guys, and it was a very important game for us. |
When you give him space and time, he's going to hurt you. |
When you give up five power play goals, you are not going to win the game. |
When you look at the situation he's in here, he has been extremely positive. He's a tremendous influence on his teammates and at some point in time he's going to see some games. |
When you look tonight, all of our scorers are kids. |
Whether he's been used on an offensive line or defensive line, I like how he has responded. |
Whether that's the case or not, I think there's no doubt we took too many penalties. They were penalties that we deserve. We know what's acceptable, what's not, and we have to make better adjustments. |
With a little bit of luck we could have won the game. A couple of mistakes cost us the game, but we showed a lot of character and determination and we got a point. |
With the day off he felt better. It's up to him. I told him before when he feels he needs some time off, just to let me know. He's played so many games. You want to save him for the games. |
You always seem to lose players to injury in camp. It's very competitive; it's very demanding. You want good execution and high intensity (in the practices). |
You build some confidence, you play differently. We've shown our ability to protect a one-goal lead late in the game. That's encouraging. |
You can't depend on other people. You just have to take care of your own business. |
You can't do anything about that. He was sick. We still have two preseason games left and I have a feeling of what he can do because I had him before [as coach in Ottawa]. |
