We haven't gotten results, but the effort and the want are there. With that, you're going to get results. It's a matter of time. |
We keep digging ourselves holes and you can't do that, ... We have to start taking the play to the other team. |
We played a strong game. We're all competing and battling for each other. We're just not getting too many breaks, but for us, we just have to continue to do this. We have to stay with it. Every guy is battling in here and that's huge. Everyone is going the same way and eventually it's going to turn around. |
We played well. If we are all skating and working hard we will get opportunities. There were a lot of new faces and new combinations but the guys had a good attitude about it. |
We should be. It's great to see they did so well. As a group of guys, we want to do the same thing. |
We want to use that as momentum. It's important to keep that going as we prepare for our next game. |
We wanted to get a good start, but I don't think we've had the best first period the last couple of games. I'm sure it's something we thought about a little bit more, knowing the intensity they were going to play with being an important game for them. We knew they were going to play hard. I think we just tried to match that. |
We'd like to ride this [streak] as long as we can. It comes at a good and a bad time because now we break for the Olympics. They came out really hard in the first period, but we weathered the storm. We were lucky to come out with the lead and we regrouped between periods. |
We'll see ... I think it depends on the swelling, ... If it's swollen like this, we'll probably just wait. If it's still swollen, and because it's swollen, the left foot probably doesn't fit in a skate. |
We're a family. When you lose a guy like that it's like losing people in your family. He was always there. He was the first one to take the blame and held himself responsible. As a player, it's not something you like to see. The coach doesn't put on his skates and go out and play. There's only so much he can do. I have a lot of respect for him. |
We're all playing within our role and not worrying about results. When we do that everything seems to click, and that's been a big factor in us winning games. |
We're close. We have to make sure we keep plugging. It's just a matter of getting that one more goal. |
We're happy to get another one. We worked hard and we deserved it. Sure, we got a bounce. But other teams have gotten bounces against us, too. But we earned it. |
We're just playing pretty solid hockey right now and not making too many big mistakes. Five on five, we're making it really tough for teams to play us. We're skating, and we're not giving them a lot of opportunities in our end, for the most part. We have to continue to play like that. |
We're playing solid hockey and not making too many very big mistakes. We're not giving up a lot of opportunities, and we have to continue to play like that. |
