Until we win some games, of course things are slipping away. I said all year long, and I don't want to make it as an excuse, but anytime somebody goes down from our first two lines, it's tough for us to replace ... We don't play the same way for whatever reason. I just hope it's the injuries.
Until we win a game, of course it's slipping away. We don't play the same way for whatever reason. I just hope it's the injuries. When we have all our guys back healthy, then I can answer that.
I did what I had to do. Play as hard as I can until the last minute. I knew we weren't going to win the hockey game ... It might be a long series. Every shift can mean a lot later on.
If you want to hear I give up, no, I didn't. I still believe, and I'm always going to believe until it's done. You never know, it's a strange game.
It wasn't easy. You could see us; we had to switch around. To survive until the third period, sometimes you just have to back up. If you had six defensemen, you wouldn't. We played too careful.
It's not good for us and it's not going to get better until we win. I'm hoping it's not too late to stop it. I thought we had a big chance today and we didn't do it.

I thought we were dominating from the first shift.
I saw a lot of pictures but I don't understand it.
I said if I felt I can play, I was going to play, and I didn't hurt too much. Hopefully next game it will feel even better.
Yeah. It might be the best league in the world besides the NHL.
