We got what we deserved. They were hungrier than we were and I don't know why.
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.
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.
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.

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.
satisfied ugly win

(Games) are all big right now and when we get to March and April, they'll be even bigger.
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.

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 it's over, I'm not going to tell you it's over.
bottom
We didn't play well, that's the bottom line. We got what we deserved.

We've got to throw this one out of the window and forget about it.
