If they come back and assume that everything's going to be hunky-dory, I think they're mistaken. |
If you look at the guys who left and add up the goals they scored, it really wasn't very many. They provided leadership and stability in the room, and now it's time for other guys to have that responsibility, because they're mature enough to handle it. |
In the heat of the moment you're going to be upset your teeth got knocked out. But in reality the referees feel as bad as anyone. |
In the third period of back-to-back games, I don't know if they really had the energy to take advantage of the power play. We talked about if we pushed the pace, there's a good chance we'll draw penalties tonight. |
It actually gave us a chance to stop the goal from being counted. But it's just one of those things. |
It certainly helped us to get back the focus we needed. We were set up on the wrong side of the ice, and we obviously want to get the puck in Joe's hands. |
It looked like we did not have much energy tonight. (Phoenix) maintained their energy while ours pretty much was sapped by the third period. |
It shows you to just shoot the puck. And the lesson learned hopefully for a lot of our guys is just shoot the puck and you have a chance to score. If you don't, you're not going to score. |
It was a play where we could have gotten the puck and we didn't. We were casual and they made us pay for it. We talked about that between the second and the third periods. We just gave them life. |
It was a tight-checking game and they should never have got a 5-on-3, it's as simple as that. It's not a good call. |
It was kind of old-time hockey. |
It was kind of old-time hockey. I'm not happy that we had to go to overtime to win, but we certainly deserved both points with the way we played physically. |
It was looking for awhile like the way the game started that we weren't going to get anything and once we battled back it's hard in a game like that to keep your foot on the gas without risking anything and I think in the future we've got to keep on pushing. |
It was one of our best efforts of the year, from the first minutes to the very end of the game. |
It would have been an awful feeling had we not prevailed in overtime. We got rewarded for our hard work. |
