Andy played well. Our effort was there. We battled hard, but we've got to stay disciplined. We've got to stay out of the box. We didn't do that. That's the new NHL. It was too bad. |
At Nashville we weren't that bad. We had 40 shots on goal. But we made a lot of mistakes. Tonight we were more stingy. |
Good teams find a way to cash in on the power play. We didn't have that. |
He works every shift even though I think every morning he wakes up his body is sore and aches. But he shows up every game, works hard, blocks shots and leads the team. It's pretty to watch. |
He works so hard on every shift. He keeps battling, blocking shots, he just plays so hard. I'm sure his body aches every morning he wakes up. But he just leads his team. It's pretty to watch. |
I don't get too many goals. Every time I score I have to make sure I celebrate. It was fun tonight. |
I just took a whack at it. It comes down to basic plays, simple plays. We were paying attention to the details. |
In the second, we took a lot of penalties, and they cashed in. We can't take a period off. Then we took that penalty, apparently because of some missed coverage, in overtime. That was a big power play. |
It seems every time we've played a big team, we've wasted a challenge. Tonight we played a good team and raised our level of play. Our goal tonight was to keep it simple. Our guys didn't quit. |
It seems we couldn't get anything going. In this league, if you can't get your power play going, you won't win games. |
It was a draw. He's pretty feisty. I asked him if he'd still go for beer and dinner, and he said, 'No problem. |
It wasn't a pretty game. We said before the game, if we win 1-0, we win 1-0. As long as we don't give 'em any chances. |
It's a big win. Obviously, we're not in the playoffs, but a win like that shows the guys we can play with any team when we play our system. Tonight we executed well our system. Very consistent for 60 minutes. It shows the guys that when we do that, we can beat anybody in the league. |
It's tough to kill 5-on-3s. There were a couple of phantom calls (not whistled against Vancouver) when we're up 3-0, and they missed a call on Kyle Calder being held at 4-4. If you're calling it, keep calling in at the end like you do at the start. |
Obviously, we didn't have a winning season. But us veterans wanted to make sure that it was understood that losing wasn't acceptable. We lost a lot of games by one goal [27]. We had a lack of experience, but our future should be pretty good. |
