added beginning build direction fans franchise inside key locker message players room sends
It sends a message not only to the players inside the locker room but to our fans the direction that we're taking. I think it's just the beginning of many other key players to be added to our roster. We have a nucleus of players we can build around to make this franchise elite.

You know they're not going to quit. I think the best defense sometimes is offense. It's nice to see. We haven't scored a lot of goals. It's good for our confidence.

We could have won it, but we didn't capitalize and it came back to bite us.

Tonight was really unacceptable. It was a poor performance. It wasn't just one or two players.

We're taking too many penalties and they're penalties we deserved. We have to learn what we can and can't do.
