Boyle had a huge game. He knew how big this game was. He wanted to make big plays and he did. |
Danny is battling. Danny is competing. I think Danny is thinking too much. |
Don't read too much into that. |
Earlier this season, he had lost a little bit of bite to his game. I think he is showing signs of (getting back to his game). |
Eighteen scoring chances to 10, we can't have four goals in our net on 10 chances. Especially the fourth goal, it can't happen. I'm ... at what's happening there because I thought our team played very well tonight. And this has gone on for quite a while. |

Eric Perrin kind of (ticked) me off a little bit. We gave him an opportunity and he just jumped ship for more money, I believe. But that's the nature of athletes, I guess. |
Even through some of the rough spots, the team has shown resiliency. You got to hang your hat on whatever you can right now to try to build some confidence. Tonight we finished the job. |
Everybody is chipping in and we're playing very well at this point in time as a team. That's the most important thing. To win consistently in this league, you need to play as a team and that's the way we've been doing it the last little bit. |
First off, we're happy with the six that are playing; we feel we have six really good defensemen. (But) I think we need more depth there. |
Four goals in 16 shots. ... I'm really tired of the 25-percent rule. |
From all the reports I get from the players that have come up here, from the reports from the coaches and everybody said that he has handled himself very well in a situation where there could be a little whining. I wouldn't agree with the whining, but it happens and he hasn't done it. |
From our goaltending right on out, I thought we played well, I thought we played hard, I thought we created a lot of offence but you're still in the situation where you're not putting that puck in the net when you have those chances. The 20 minutes in the third period was very important in just finding a way. |

From where we were before this game to after this game, there are a lot of positives. The team battled hard. We have to build off of that. |
