I couldn't be happier as far as how hard they played and then they turned it up in the overtime, that's what I liked. They tried to win so we'll take that point and go from there. |
I don't care how it looked, it's about finding a way and it starts with your goaltending giving you a chance and the past two nights we have definitely got that. |
I don't care if you're projected as the star of the team or the captain of the team. I don't care if you're the grinder of the team. I don't care if you're the ice cream man. If you don't push and play with intensity, you are not going to get your ice time. |
I don't give a damn about the Leafs. We're not going to look over our shoulder. |
I don't know how we're going to react coming in off of this. That's my concern. |
I don't know why it should increase intensity. Our intensity should be increased to the limit right now, with where we're at. I'm not a big believer in statement games, measuring sticks, four-point games. I think every game is important. |
I don't like finishing a game that way. I'm not getting on my team at all. They played hard. They played really well. |
I don't like having that many. We'll look at it and see what we should do. |
I don't like that, must win. What happens if something doesn't happen the right way for us and what do I come back (to) my team with? We are not going to go to Calgary because we didn't win that must-win game. I am not trying to be sarcastic, but I don't believe in the must win. |
I don't think I've ever heard Rammer raise his voice. |
I don't think it's far away from us. Even right now, it's not far away from us. |
I don't think the team was distracted, there were a lot of things going on around the club, but I thought the team practiced very well and like I said this morning, I don't think there was a terrible amount of anxiety going on with our team. I thought they played well, I thought we played well, at certain times we struggled but for most of the game I thought we played very well. |
I don't think they are in our heads, I don't think that at all. I just think they are a pretty good hockey club and they've had their way with us a little bit here, and this gives us an opportunity to change the tide here. |
I don't think we were playing that well. They're a quick, loose, young team and we were having problems generating chances, problems with their speed. [Then] we started to do the little things and we won a hockey game. So as much of a grind as it was, we still found a way and that's what I liked about our team tonight. |
I don't want to be short ... but it's not a big concern. |
