We used him an awful lot, we did some one-on-one (drills) and things like that. We'll see how responds tomorrow. |
We weren't mentally sharp at all. |
We weren't mentally sharp at all. Our decision making was very poor. They never had the puck control and the play selections weren't very good. |
We're going to make it if it helps the team get better along the way. Otherwise, I don't think we'll make a trade for the sake of making a trade. |
We're having a tough time. We're creating some second chances in front of the net, we just can't seem to bury them. |
We're hoping if he doesn't play the first two (road games), which are back to back, he'll be ready for Vancouver (on Sunday). |
We're just looking to make our organization better. We have 22 games left and you've got to still play those games and stay competitive. The veterans have really helped out our young players and that helps their development down the road. |
We're just not being able to find the back of the net. That's what happens when you're pushing and you're pressing. ... We need to get a break along the line here. |
We're looking to take a look at some of our younger players in Peoria to give them an opportunity. We couldn't give him the ice time he thought he needed. We had to make a move and we have to look at some of these young players because we've got decisions on them coming up. |
We're not a very competent team right now. Tonight's game was the poorest we've skated as a team. |
We've got a lot of young kids that have to learn how to have a killer instinct when they have a chance on the net. |
We've got to finish strong. It's all about work ethic and team play and that's what we expect down the stretch. |
We've used Keith before at center ... not this year but previously when he's been in St. Louis. I can't say it will stay pat or not ... we had a practice today, and I wanted to see how it would go in practice. |
When he first came, his play was OK and then it's dropped off of late. I think he's lost his confidence a little bit. He's got to shoot more. He's got to go to the net and be a little more greedy with the puck. |
When you don't win the shootout, it's pretty deflating ... because we had a terrific effort tonight. Our team play was great, and everyone had a part in it. I can't fault (anyone). |
