It wasn't for a lack of effort. For some reason we seemed to be sloppy on our execution. |
It wasn't one of our best games. I think we can play some real good hockey and tonight we didn't play as well. They made it a battle and have a lot of pride and I give them credit. |
It wasn't very good execution. |
It's a game you say that he wins the game for us. |
It's a process. We're going to play with exciting-type effort and work hard. |
It's an area where we have to get better. Our goal production is at the bottom of the league. We have to improve. |
It's day-to-day. We'll see how he is tomorrow, but it will be a game-day decision. |
It's encouraging when you see the number of shots and chances we were able to make. |
It's going to be important for us to come out of this trip with a good record (and) some points. |
It's hard to explain. You would like to have more power plays, but why we aren't getting more, I can't answer that. |
It's just the beginning as well as a great signing by this organization. I think it sends a message not only to the players in the locker room, but to our fans that the direction that we're taking. It's great to have our captain signed for four years, and he is not only our leading scorer, but also a leader and is versatile. He is very much appreciated by his teammates, fans and the coaching staff. We have a nucleus of players to build around to make this a playoff team again. |
It's no secret when you look at our season, one of the areas we have to address is our special teams. If you break down our losses, I'm sure there aren't many we'd have because of our 5-on-5 play. |
It's not his fault we haven't made the playoffs. He's pulled his weight. He's proven he can play in key games, at the World Championships, at the World Cup. So that's not a concern. |
It's pretty unfortunate. I think at this point in time it's not all fire-fight, so I'll reserve comment until everything is in order. |
It's something [General Manager Mike Keenan] is working hard to come up with. |
