I thought we played really well. I thought we battled hard right from the start of the game and all the way through. I thought we deserved a better fate. |
I thought we won it in overtime. I think he felt pretty bad about that. I thought for sure he was going to score. |
I was very surprised to see that. |
I'd say probably our last 13-15 games - since the Colorado game - our game has been pretty good. |
I've been wrestling with this. I can't say it will stay pat or not. We wanted to see how it would go in practice. Usually with forwards they interchange all the time anyway. |
I've noticed that in practice, he's done that quite well. His moves are much shorter and more direct. |
If I had to pick one positive, I was pretty proud of the players how they hung in together, stuck up for one another. They battled through and it's not easy for them, either. |
If it's going to help the organization, you have to consider that and make that move. We've got some guys that would really add some depth to other teams throughout the NHL, especially those teams that are on a playoff run or in the playoffs. |
If we could have won probably another 10 games, we would have been right in the mix. With our ownership the way it's gone, we had to cut back and that's also affected the organization. |
In this league, it's all scoring at the right time. It changes the whole look of the game, if you get a goal at the right time. We've been getting those goals at the proper time and giving us momentum. |
It changes the whole look of your team when he's out there in practice. He's still scoring goals with a bad hand, so it would be nice to welcome him back into the lineup. |
It has been a very difficult streak that we're in right now. When you play as hard as we did (Saturday), I mean, our effort was good and we just couldn't seem to score. We had enough chances, especially in the third period, to win the game. You keep looking for things to find a way to get on the winning track. I can't fault the guys' effort. The guys worked hard. We just have to get a break here or there. |
It just seems like second nature. That's what we're supposed to do is go to overtime. |
It looked like they had a few days off. That's why we had the type of practice we had today ... just to get them back into the swing of things. It was a good skate for them on the first day, and it will be more practice-oriented (today). |
It was a pretty questionable call. Those kinds of calls are the things, I think, hurt the game. |
