Anytime you lose the way we've lost, it's frustrating. The bottom line is we're getting outworked in every area of the game. We're getting outsmarted. We look like a kids hockey team playing against men. |
Basically we have to run the table from now on and hope we can catch someone. It's a daunting task, but we're not going to pack it in. |
He tried to kick it with his skate. But that was because quite a few gentlemen, and I won't mention any names, were jumping away from it. |
Hopefully, the goal is to create some parity. The difference between making the playoffs, finishing fifth or sixth, and missing it isn't much. It's a pretty fine line. |
I felt a lot better about my play the second half of the season. I need to talk to the organization and see how they feel. It's been a lot of fun, but we'll see what happens. |
I thought we were ready to play. I think we dominated stretches of the game. |
It came right over toward me, toward my stick, and I shot it across the room. |
It was a huge win for us and to contribute to that is huge. We pretty much have to run the table just (to make the playoffs), so to get the game-winning goal in a game like that is pretty special for me personally. |
It was embarrassing. We're professionals in here and to lose like that in our building, in any building, is about as bad as it gets. I'm kind of at a loss for words right now. |
It's a good division and for years to come, I think, it's going to be pretty good. It's going to be a heck of a division, and you're seeing a lot of good rivalries. |
It's been a little frustrating because we've gone at a pretty good clip and not been able to get anywhere. |
It's difficult because we thought we'd figured out how to be a team and play well together. Now it's kind of like we're back where we were before. It's frustrating and you can see it in our play. |
They made us look like we were skating in slush. There was a lot of slop out there. Give them credit. They executed. |
To be able to have the kind of night I had and have a big goal like that is special for me. It was gratifying in a lot of ways. |
We had a little shock after the first period. The first period was all us and the second was the opposite. You have to hang in there. In this game you are going to have ups and downs. |
