These guys are going to be the first people that play in the Wells Fargo Arena in a game that matters. It's something they'll remember and take with them the rest of their lives.

The guys did a great job of keeping the puck in on that first goal. Then they kept banging away and we got rolling from there.

The loss is a concern. The (number) of shots is a concern.

We played well, especially during the first 40 minutes. Chicago got some breaks on goals. . . . We've got some good guys in our dressing room. We'll right the ship and right it quickly.

Everyone contributed. We had scoring from every line.

ability defense difficult goal gotten hard lead league next offense player race stressed
He was in a difficult race to lead the league in scoring, but as a young player his goal is to play at the next level. He's gotten better and better every game. We've stressed defense to offense. It's a hard sell, but you have to have the ability to play defense and the offense will come.
against hard work
We have to be better against them. We did not work hard enough to nullify them, especially in our zone.

The way we played (at Omaha) forced us to make a decision on what we wanted to be - contenders or pretenders. We went into Peoria the next day with our backs against the wall . . . we played grittier.
both couple days enjoys excellent gives good guys playing
I think it's good for both parties. It allows him to keep playing and he's an excellent player, he's an NHL player. He's had a couple of days off. I think he enjoys the guys and we enjoy him. When you get a guy like that, it gives us more depth.
When you are young, and we're young, you play to survive.
game
It was a big, big game for us. We didn't want to go 0-4.

We played short tonight and got a good effort, but we need to win those hockey games.
