We spent too much time looking [back to a] couple years ago. That's where we forgot what we are as a team. You know there are going to be pitfalls. You expect adversity, especially in the situation we were in. We were told we were the greatest thing since sliced bread for two years. Sometimes, the guys start believing it. |
We started out really well. But for some reason after they scored their goal we were like deer in headlights. I don't have an answer for that, but obviously that has to be cured. |
We talked about this as an organization before we started the season. We felt there were going to be some bumps and quite a bit of adversity coming through, and we've seen it. But it's a learning experience. We are going to have to learn to deal with it. We are going to have to have a better second half, and I believe we will. |
We thought OB was a little nervous [Tuesday]. He played well the first game, but this was the Leafs, and these guys think about that as young players so we cut back. |
We tried to win it. So we'll take the point and go from there. In all facets of our game, I was pleased. |
We watched them play [in the first period]. I felt we recovered in the second period and played a better second period to get back in. |
We were a little nervous in the first period. |
We were having problems generating chances, having problems with their speed. Obviously the second goal at the end of the period was key. That's what I like about what happened, we ended up finding a way. |
We will be ready to play. |
We'll be ready to play. We're right where we want to be. |
We'll do it the best way possible to make sure guys are physically able to go in this last quarter (of the season). |
We'll just continue to plow away. And maybe some good things will happen. |
We'll see him five more times, so we have to deal with it. Our big point was to get shots off. What I liked was, nobody on the bench got frustrated. |
We're all going to miss Rammer, there's no question about that. But we have to go about our business. He has always been a very steady influence to everything and we'll miss him. |
We're getting ready for playoffs. I'm not going to get too involved in this game. ... We'll be ready to play. We're right where we want to be. |
