It was an entertaining game for the fans, and I thought the referees took it away. It was a good hard-fought game ... and to start handing out unsportsmanlike conducts for guys that didn't really say much ... Let the guys play. |
It was disappointing, but Colorado did a very good job keeping us off-balance. We could never seem to get set up in the zone. |
It was nice for the players to see that this morning. They're real pros, those guys. Both of them are class acts. |
It was probably was one of his best games of the year. |
It was terrific. It really puts things in perspective for all of us ... what a soldier goes through in their daily activities. They're over there fighting for us to have our freedom here. You just can't say enough. |
It wasn't one of our better efforts tonight. |
It would have been nice to get a win, (but) we couldn't do it. These are tough games for both teams to play in. No one's proud. Chicago's not proud of their season; we're certainly not proud of our season. |
It's a big relief to have the streak over. That's been hanging over our heads for a long time now. We had solid goaltending, which really kept us in the game. That was probably the most important factor for us. |
It's a tough way to go in, he hasn't played in a while. But he stepped in and he was the difference. He protected that lead for us and played really well. |
It's about time we got a break. The team needed it; the dressing room needed it. |
It's an unfortunate play. That's the way 2005 ended, right there. |
It's been going on for maybe the last two or three games. That's what has happened with the leads we've had. Because we take penalties, we lose momentum and then we lose the lead. |
It's been tough. You have to look at the situation we're in with all the injuries. The only people that can do anything about it is ourselves. |
It's going to be a very competitive environment because it's such a close playoff race in both conferences, and games are going to be very crucial there. |
It's hard to tell until you get into the real stuff, but throughout the scrimmages, I thought they've really done a pretty good job. You see they're putting their stick there and then they're pulling it away. It's going to take a long time; that's mental discipline. |
