desperate happy maybe players visibly
We weren't happy going down 4-2, the players were visibly upset. Maybe we need to play desperate more often because they really responded.
five good minutes
We'd play for five minutes and be off for 15. It wasn't good for the guys.
along confidence front playing solid
We just need to keep playing the way we've been playing. We are solid up front and along the back and in goal. We just have to keep our confidence going and not make mistakes.
became best interests players point safety tried
We tried to let things go as long as we could, but it got to the point where the safety of the players became a concern. You've got to think of the players' best interests and not put them in harm's way.
advantage certainly dictate division games hard next nice ourselves three whether win worked
We've certainly worked hard to put ourselves in that position. The next three games will dictate whether we have home-ice advantage or win a division title. It's nice to be in that position.
giving team
Wheeling is an opportunistic team and we are giving them too many opportunities right now. We need to get away from some of the things that are frustrating us out there.

We sent the fans home happy and ourselves as well. It's nice that everyone will be able to enjoy tonight with a smile on their face.
behind believed doubted ourselves points
When we were 12 points behind Wheeling, we never doubted ourselves and always believed we could do it.
club great hockey last minutes proud smart
What a great effort. It was a smart 60 minutes of hockey. I couldn't be more proud of this hockey club over the last two games.
lead rules safe season
With the new rules this season and our inconsistency, a two or three-goal lead isn't a safe lead by any means.
asked needed ourselves played scared sunday
We played a little scared and I don't know why. We asked ourselves Sunday what we needed to do differently and we still don't know.
hopefully opportunity redeem stop
We have an opportunity to redeem ourselves. Hopefully we'll put a stop to this.
guys hard points step tonight tough
When times are tough and points are hard to come by, we need individuals to step up to be heroes. Tonight we had a lot of guys who were heroes.
