We can't get discouraged. We have to find a way to get 3 or 4 per cent better. |
We can't make excuses for [our new] guys. They're getting an opportunity right now. They've got to push themselves ... those are just facts of life. |
We concentrated an awful lot on our start tonight. We talked about what we wanted to do and still got off to a horrendous start. We're trying to make something happen and instead we gave a great chance right off the hop to one of the better shooters in the league. |
We did some good things, but we also took too many penalties. We didn't adhere to the things we need to do for an entire 60 minutes. |
We didn't do good things throughout the entire game. |
We didn't do good things throughout the entire game. I don't think we had enough guys who worked hard enough and we end up with that type of result when that happens. |
We didn't have great games from anybody in our lineup. |
We had to play a spirited game and the defense came up large. |
We have to be better than we were today. We took too many dumb penalties. We keep doing that; we keep giving teams a chance to get back in games. |
We like the balance that our lines get. I think we can expect more from Matt Cooke and Richard Park playing with a centre as accomplished as Mo. |
We played a game tonight that we're pleased with in some parts, and we weren't pleased with in other parts. |
We took some penalties that we were responsible for and by veteran people and those things we have to correct and correct quickly. |
We were certainly guilty of not going to people assertively. We had a difficult time with them tonight. |
We'll see how things go. We haven't had a tough schedule the last little while. Now we play every second day until Christmas. That would be a little bit of a load if Alex had to play all of that. |
We're not performing at our top level, and we have to eliminate as much negative thought as possible. |
