finding games good lost overtime quite teams ways
That's the hump, the one-goal games that we have lost all year, the overtime games that we have lost all year. I think we've done good things at times just finding ways to win. Good teams find a way to win, and we are close. It's not quite there.
chance game gave half
We had a chance, we were up 3-0 with half the game done. We gave them a chance to come back.
adam advantage games hunter invaluable job looked steve talk took year
I always looked up to those guys, ... I was able to have Dale Hunter to talk to my first year when he had a job in the organization. Just being able to talk to him after games and after practices, it was an invaluable experience. And to play with Adam Oates and Steve Konowalchuk, there was a lot to learn. Hopefully, I took advantage of that.
enabling fan fans favorite game great guy line opens red score
You get a guy like that, he's going to score 25, 30, 35 goals. It will be interesting to see if the game opens up without the red line enabling him to use his speed. I don't know what Bonzai is going to do. He's been a fan favorite for so many years. It would be great for the fans to see him come back.
cake expecting game goal period played playing power
You never go into a game expecting a cake walk. I thought we played well enough to win. But again, the power play didn't come through in the first period on the 5-on-3. Then, they get that power play goal and we're playing catch-up.

That's not quite accurate. There are still things to play for. You're still getting paid to play, this is still a game where you try to entertain the fans so you try to go hard.
erase four games goals guy next type
He's still getting chances. I know as well as anyone, goalies are good. You are not always going to score. He's the type of guy who can go out and get four goals the next two games and erase the drought.
control games gotten quit
I don't think there's any quit in our group, even in the games that have gotten out of control at the end.
admit ashamed definitely easier games guys next played playing point pride time wanting win
It's definitely easier if you're in the playoffs. From that sense, this is a completely different mind-set from where you want to be. But at the same time there are a lot of guys here playing for jobs, playing for next year. At this point you're playing for pride and wanting to win as a group. But I admit we should be ashamed about some of the games we've played lately.

We estimate Qwest's at-risk revenues from this arrangement total several hundred million dollars annually.
goal start tried
When we've been down a goal at the start of the third, we've tried to make too much happen,
fast guys hooking wrap
You have to be fast now. You used to be able to get by with hooking and holding. Not now. You can't wrap guys up the way it was in the past.
giving needed
We were giving up between 35 and 50 shots, so something needed to change.
played
When we weren't in the box, I thought we played pretty well.
