We didn't find a way to score. We had a couple of chances but it didn't go in. The difference in the game was their power play.
The regular season is over and we're all happy to be in this position and getting ready for the playoffs. This is when everybody wants to play. This is the fun time of the year, and we're excited about it.
We just have to worry about Calgary and have a better effort there. We always seem to have a lapse at one point or another in the game. We just want to play 60 minutes and get a win there and start moving up in the standings.
We tried to overpass it instead of shoot when we saw them break their sticks. We should have just got it back to Blake and let him blast it.
We took a penalty, and that's it. I thought we should have had more than one point, but the guys worked hard. If we keep working like this, we're going to get our points.
We're pretty excited about winning. That's a great hockey team over there. I thought they were flat. It was a bad day for them.
We know that Dallas isn't going to quit. We are up 3-0 and we want to do whatever we can not give them any momentum. We don't want to go back to Dallas if we don't have to. They have such a great hockey team over there and nobody here wants them to get a win and get on a roll.
Todd has served his suspension and it was lengthy. He served that and you move on. The most important thing is Steve Moore is doing better.
With a rolling puck, no one knows where it's going. Usually, a rolling puck gets away a little quicker.
We were just trying to get two points, just trying to win a game. There was no sense getting carried away with anything. We just wanted to win a game and that's the most important thing.
We were just watching Marty work his magic. He was unbelievable tonight.
We didn't play well enough. We didn't deserve to win. The level was a lot higher than it was in 2002.
I didn't know that I'd like it this much, coaching both boys and... seeing how excited they are to play hockey. It reminds you of when you were that age and you wanted to be out on the ice.
The more I can hear, the more I can learn, the better off I'll be.
