came downer score
It was a downer when they came back to score right after we did.
care character eight good guys nine ok room winning
We have a lot of good character guys in the room that care about winning and care about each other. We have probably five, six, seven, eight nine guys that are like that, so I think we're OK in that department.
against game maybe points san saturday slip
We've got to get back at it. We've got to get two points on Saturday just to keep pace. Every game is huge. We have to get points in every game we play from here on in. We let one, maybe two, slip away against San Jose, so we have to try to get two back on Saturday.
few fortunate
We got to get back to the way we should be playing. We have to be sharper. They got a few bounces. We are fortunate to be up 3-1. We've just got to play smart.
lucky wish
I wish I could say I anticipated the puck, but I got a lucky bounce.
adjustment catch clark past practice shift talked
We had been working a little on that in practice. We talked about it the shift before we went on. We made an adjustment or two and they were a little aggressive, so we thought we would catch them off-guard. Clark snuck down there and snuck one past them.
good key played players teams
I've played on teams where there were more (injuries). But I don't know if it was so many key players and players that were having good years.
afford battle coming game home neck nine period road teams tight
This is such a tight battle with nine or 10 teams that are neck and neck. Coming home is big for us. We can't afford a letdown. A lot of times when you're on the road for a period of time, you come back and have a letdown for a game or two.
basically believes job season stand wild worry
As players, I don't think that's any of our business. There's nothing we can do about it. This is between Marian and the Wild organization. It's not between any of the players. We basically come to play and we still have a job to do. The season is not going to stop. We have a job to do and we can't worry about his situation. That's something that he believes in and he's making a stand for it.
five game gotten kept minutes played tied win
This game was played in spurts. If we could've kept it tied with five minutes to play, we could've gotten a win tonight.
fun game good stopped
They had some good chances, but we stopped them. It was a fun game to play.
camp career continued everybody four group guys hockey last lines months patch resilient rough theme three training
We're a pretty resilient group and everybody has chipped in. I think a lot of guys have had career years. Right from training camp I thought we had four lines that could score. We've kind of continued that theme all season. We had a little rough patch in December, but over the last three months we're never out of a hockey game.
great hockey needed played road sure win
I think they played a great road game. They did everything I'm sure they wanted to do and we didn't do the things we needed to do to win a hockey game.
bit roller taken
I think they've taken away a little bit of the battles. It's part of hockey. If not, it's kind of roller hockey. Roller hockey, that's not good.
