fun great
I think it's going to be great for the game. It's really going to be a fun thing.
dig great guys hard holes nice night obviously ourselves prepared quitting sign starts sure trying yourselves
It's great we didn't quit, but it sure would be nice to put ourselves in a different position. It's obviously a nice sign when the guys aren't quitting and still trying to do the right things. But obviously we have to be a little more prepared for the starts of games. It's too hard to dig yourselves into holes like this and try to come back every night like this.
battling definitely early great holes kept nights ourselves team ways
It was just one of those nights early on. It's just hard. We kept battling and that's the one great thing about our team right now. We definitely don't quit. But we have to find ways to be better and not get ourselves in such big holes here.
fortunate great opportunity
It's been a great 20 years. We all should be so fortunate we had the opportunity to be around him.
great hoping obviously ray smart talent
Ray is a very smart player. Obviously he's got great talent, and we're hoping he's able to come back and make a difference.
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.
accolades easy great guy sponge trying
He's a sponge right now. He's just trying to take everything in, and that's unbelievable for a young guy that's had all the accolades he's had up to this point. It'd be pretty easy for him to go the other way, but he's not. He's such a great kid.
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.
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.
