Eddie certainly gave us a chance to win. In the second period he was awesome.
I guess I'm hoping I'll get hit or something, and then I'll have to put it on.
Our only focus from now on is to turn this thing around. We have to get back to playing the way we did. The way we're playing right now, it hasn't even been two weeks. Before that we were playing really good hockey and we could beat any team in the league. We have to climb back to that, and it's going to take all of us in the dressing room. We can't look at the standings right now.
Almost all five goals we had the puck and misplayed. I thought we beat ourselves tonight.
It could have been anyone of us. A lot of us have gone through tough stretches.
I'm not sure if it was us that had that bad of a game, but we were on our heels the whole game, ... They were the better team, there's no doubt about it.
If anyone from my team deserves to go, he's the guy,
The way we were playing over the last two months, it could have been anyone to sit out. I know Tie, and he'll bounce back from this and work as hard as always.
Now, it's a little more my respnsibility to answer for what's going on with the team and explain why we're doing well and why we're not doing well.
You can see why they're doing well in Detroit. They're a force out there for us.
He's one of the best players to ever play the game and arguably the best leader ever in the game.
They play the trap as well as anyone. When they have the lead, they don't lose.
It feels all right. You have to constantly wipe off the water, but it's something you have to get used to, ... I'm going to have to wear it for the next three weeks, and hopefully I can keep it on for the remainder of the year.
Sometimes things just go right. It was just one of those nights. We kept coming back and didn't give up. We're still alive.
