We got what we deserved. They were hungrier than we were and I don't know why.
change coach decision thinking
It doesn't change my position. I still need to go and play and then it's up to the coach to make the decision who plays. I'm not going in thinking I'm the No. 1 guy.
blocking effort everybody good great guys half hopefully job minute season second
I think that our guys did a great job blocking them out. It was a good 60 minute effort from everybody and that's what we need. Hopefully in the second half of the season we are going to have this every game.
character good
He's a good character guy. He'd be a good addition.
penalties period second trouble
Penalties got us into trouble in the second period and they capitalized on that.
best confident five four guy identity score teams
Kipper is a confident guy right now back there and, defensively, they're one of the best teams in the league. Their identity is they're not going to score four or five goals, they're going to score two or three, but it's going to be enough to win.
satisfied ugly win
It's the most important part to get the win and don't give them a point. If you look at that way, we can say we are satisfied with our game. We got the win. Sometimes it will be ugly, and it was one of them, an ugly one tonight.
march
(Games) are all big right now and when we get to March and April, they'll be even bigger.
four score win
Sometimes you don't have to score four goals. We have to find a way to win the 2-1 and 1-0 games.
ends mistake seems starts
They capitalized on our penalties. We need everyone on the same page, and it starts with me. One mistake ends up costing us the game. This seems to be the story all season.
area awesome compete loves night people wanting watch
I know how much this area loves hockey, and I know how much people were wanting us to come back. They want to watch us compete every night, and that's what's awesome about this crowd. Hopefully, they'll come every night and keep it up.
days forgot game ready regardless stick win
We have to stick with the plan. Right now the game is over, and we have to forgot about it and get ready for our other game, regardless if we win or loose. We have to play, and one of these days they will go in.
build climb mental toughness
We just have to climb, climb, climb and build that toughness. And right now, it's more the mental toughness we need to build.
until
Until it's over, I'm not going to tell you it's over.
