backwards games good step stretch taken turning
I thought we were turning the corner. We had a good stretch of games, and we've taken a little step backwards now. We have to find a way to get back again.
deal four good great half hard learning losses played pride third trouble work year
It's like 'Groundhog Day' half the time. We can take away that we showed a great deal of pride in the third and played hard and battled, but we did the same things that have been getting us in trouble all year to get us down four goals. We haven't been very good at learning from our mistakes, from our losses and even from our wins, and that's something we have work on.
good great job month
He's everything we expected. It's great that he could come in and do a good job like this in his first month under all this pressure.
feeling good guys hopefully learn learning process took win
It's something where we really have to learn from this and learn the feeling of what it took to win this game. We have so many young guys that this is a learning curve. Every game's a learning process and we haven't been very good at learning. Hopefully we can take this and get better here.
five good groove last player six
He's been a real good player for us and he really started to find his groove the last five or six games.
dressing gave guys help next takes team whatever worth
You don't want to let these guys down in the dressing room. You want to show them you're worth whatever they gave up and help this team do whatever it takes to get to that next level.
kiss
He was so excited, I thought he was going to give me a kiss out there.
honestly punch reach
Dumb. I honestly don't know if I could reach him, if I even wanted to punch him.
desperate played toronto
They played better than us. Toronto was much better than us. ... We weren't as desperate as them.
fun great
I think it's going to be great for the game. It's really going to be a fun thing.
enjoy people
I think the people here are pretty realistic. They want to see effort. And I think they enjoy this team.
answers team
I don't have answers anymore. I've never been on a team like this. I really don't understand.
eventually playing turn
If we keep playing the way we are defensively, and competing, eventually it will turn our way. It has to.
