There's no question, pretty much all areas of our game need to improve, |
There's some grunting. The challenge is how fast you go from that tuck to that full position. |
These last six games, I've been feeling better and things are starting to roll. As a group, we're creating more scoring chances and it's good for everybody's confidence. |
They were more desperate than us off the start and we didn't match it. It was that first period where we were very flat and they were good. They got out ahead of us and we didn't fully get back into it. |
They're a good team, they're fast and we knew they would be. We've got to match that and unfortunately we didn't. |
They're very disciplined. They don't give you a lot of chances. |
They've always been one of the best teams at puck possession and when you're not moving your feet, it looks there like they're playing with us. That's not even close to our best. |
They've always been pretty quick and we probably made them look quicker, |
This is amazing to me, I don't get it. No one on my team phoned me to express any displeasure with Ted's hiring, I can tell you that. |

This is my ninth year here and I think I missed one of these tournaments for the World Cup. You come back and see the guys -- it's great. You keep in touch by e-mail but it's kind of a nice buzz to hear the anticipation. It's a good time of the year. |
To be a low scoring team like we are and to get the number of wins we have, he's easily the biggest reason. The fans were letting him know tonight and us as players, we appreciate everything he's done this year, it's been amazing to watch. |
To come back in the third period, earn a point and clinch a playoff spot . . . there's some positives from tonight but it never feels good losing. They were a very hungry, very determined team tonight but we knew they would be. |
We came out and had a good start, and were able to draw some penalties. |
