It's inexcusable. The effort part is something that can be controlled, and it's not there right now. It's really, really, extremely frustrating for everybody.

You could tell the first five minutes. For whatever reason, we couldn't get going.

What scares me is how easily it happened.

We have to continue to play like that. Five on five we were still a better team. We just have to make sure we stay positive and stay focused and work on the things that are actually costing us games right now.

When you get goaltending like that, you have to take advantage of it.
compete eventually guys hard honest played positive starting stay team turn ways
We played hard (Saturday). Eventually, we're going to find ways to win. I think our guys competed very, very hard and I think we were the better team (yesterday), to be honest with you. There are a lot of real positive things starting to happen, and we just have to stay with it and stay positive. If we compete like this, we'll eventually turn this thing around.

(Yesterday) was really the first day I saw him frustrated in practice. We'll see how it goes the next couple games and if need be, the older guys, that's part of our responsibility to see that he stays focused on the right things.

You hate to say it, but the kid really reminds you of Mario at that age. He's big, can skate, can shoot and looks like he has something of an edge.
allowed game goals good hockey opportunity period road stronger teams third win
We had an opportunity to win the hockey game in the third period and allowed two goals right in the slot. Good road teams don't let that happen. We have to get better at a lot of things right now and we will, but that's one thing we have to get stronger at.

You can tell he competes very hard and wants to be successful. Like Sid. I think that's why these kids are that good. They really want to do well. They really want to compete. And they really want to be difference-makers.

We didn't quit and that's important. We are looking for a lot of positives right now. We've got to stay focused and positive and those were definitely positive signs.
finding guys instead lose night start team ways winning
We're finding ways to lose instead of win. (Monday), we didn't have enough guys competing. When you play a team like this, you need everybody. We were much better the other night at home. We have to find ways to start winning these.
balance direction figure push starting trying
We're starting to figure it out. We've got a lot of new faces. We've got balance between young and old. And everybody's trying to push in the right direction to find the right way to play.
