As a hockey player, it's one of the things you dread. It made me realize to be careful out there, especially when you have your back to the play. |
Everybody has got to pick up the load a little bit. |
He came out of there thinking he probably aced the thing. (Trainer) Donny (Fuller) said, 'No, you've got to a wait a few days because you flunked it.' It's one of those things where you just have to go with it. |
I don't know who did the schedule, but he seems to stick them in when we're on a roll. |
I think everybody was nervous by mid-second. Everyone was tight on their sticks. |
I think in the second there everybody was tight on there sticks. Once we start hesitating that makes it even more obvious that things are not going to go our way. |
I was surprised to get that rebound. I think I was behind the net, but my stick was in front. I got the lucky bounce and was able to squeeze it in. I don't think I saw any room there. I thought there might be, so I just tried to stick it right inside the post. |
In this building we know when we are ahead we close the game out pretty good. Manny made some saves like he always does and right there that is key for us. After that, we started to play with more confidence and that has been what we've been lacking the last two games. |
It's such a fast-paced sport that you can't control everything, but at least give yourself a chance not to get hurt too much. |
That's how it goes. Tonight they had three breakaways and scored on all three. It's definitely a tough way to look at it. |
The neck and the head feel like one tight crowbar. As far as my focus, it's much better than (Monday) night. I went to bed with a headache, and I woke up clear of that. |
They're a team that's very tight in their zone and very hard to penetrate. They're a team that works really hard, and it's hard to get momentum. And once you do, it's even harder to keep it. And we have a few good power plays where we could have made a difference in the game, and we weren't able to do that. |
When we handled that five on three - that was huge for us. We got the fans involved in the game, and guys were really pumped on the bench. |
You use all your energy killing penalties instead of creating things offensively. It makes a big difference at the end of the game. |
