(Sanford) is going to be out for a while. |
A lot of teams we're going to play down here at the end are really battling for the playoffs or battling for position in the playoffs. There's not going to be any easy games for us, and that's why I want to try to focus on our team game the most. |
A shootout is a shootout. We go from a team game - we had a terrific team game - to an individual game. It's what fans want, but it's disheartening. We played 60 to 65 minutes, but it feels like a loss. |

A shootout's a shootout. We're going from a terrific team game into an individual thing. I guess that's what the fans want. But it's a little disheartening. The guys played hard for 65 minutes and then you lose in a shootout. |
Absolutely ... absolutely ... that killed it. You have the 5-on-3 and the four power plays in the first period, you've got to get a goal there. At least a goal. |
And he's never really hit his stride yet. (Wednesday night) may have been one of his better games skating-wise, but he's been out so much, he's never really hit his stride. |
And the more we play, he's going to feel more comfortable. |
Coming in you've got that young energy there. You know they're going to make some mistakes along the way. |
Everyone knows that they were trying to sell the team and now that it's done, I think it's great. It gives us a direction, it gives the fans a direction now also and we can move forward here. |
Everyone maybe getting used to each other and the team game. There's a lot more trust out on the ice ... players know their responsibilities a little bit more. |
Hartnell falls on him, no one pushed him. That's contact period, it's a penalty, you can't have that. |
He came in (and) he made some real key saves. I thought he did a great job. That's not easy, coming in cold and having to get right into the game like that. |
He deserves everything he's gotten here. He's worked hard; he's been a good leader in the room; he's been a tremendous leader on the ice. He's been terrific for us all year long. |
He didn't want to show his moves. So he just went in and shot. |
