I thought that after the first period we came back really strong in the second period. While they out shot us I thought we had some really good chances. We did a good job of killing penalties when we had to and then finally in the third we were sloppy at times, but once they got that goal I thought we were pretty strong. |
I thought we came back hard and deserved a much better fate. When you play half the period short-handed, it's going to be very difficult to win the game. |
I thought we came out with good energy and good enthusiasm. I thought we had a really good game going, and just had too much adversity we had to face. |
I thought we had a real good game. I think it's a good sign, and we need to keep working hard and keep doing the little things that get results. . . . It's good to see a reward. |
I thought we showed a lot of character and determination. I think we have to give credit to (Luongo)...He kept us in it. |
I thought we showed a lot of tenacity coming back in the second period. Fatigue from last night may have been a factor for our poor third period. |
I told Roberto it wasn't because of his play, I was trying to change the momentum. And I think we did that. |
I told them don't bother wasting energy on it. |
I used him a lot before the break. The rest was good mentally and it's good for him to get right back into it. |
I was going to play the kids for sure, but hadn't made up my mind who wasn't going to play. The decision was made for me. |
I would hope he'd be ready near the end of the season. His rehab has gone well. |
I'd say he's doubtful for this week. I don't have a time limit. |
I'm used to it because we had the same thing in Ottawa whenever Montreal or Toronto came in our building. It builds a rivalry, and it builds electricity in the air. |
I've seen several times where he has made passes to forwards and we've had some counter-attacks. |
In a do-or-die situation we know these individuals can handle the pressure very well. |
