benny talk
I still talk to Benny a little bit,
angles catch clear defense rebounds shots took trying
I thought they took some funny-angle shots in the beginning, trying to catch me. But the rebounds just bounced out from those angles and you're going to give up some rebounds, but our defense was right there to clear them away.
disgusted fans giving ice knowing player sit standing totally watch
I was embarrassed. You don't want to be standing out there on the ice as a player knowing that fans are just totally disgusted and you're not even giving them their money's worth. I think we're embarrassed for ourselves, but we were embarrassed for them, too, to have to sit there and watch it.
beside critical fourth game learn third time
It all unraveled in the second. They got their third goal, and then the fourth one and now it's just kind of beside ourselves. We just have to learn from this and not make any more of it than what it was and that was a one game defeat, all be it in an important game at a critical time of the year. But all it is one game.
challenged full game hard pleased ugly
Just the ugly getting uglier, ... I challenged myself to concentrate hard for a full 60-minute game and I was pleased with that.
competitor far great guy team
He's a great guy, a great team guy. Always a great guy to play with. As far as a player, he's as great a competitor as you'd want to play with.
falls period playing road tonight
I thought tonight was going to be that night. We're 0-0 after the first period on the road and playing well. But then it all falls apart.
bottom deserved found goal score tough
They probably deserved to score a goal there. They battled and made it really tough on us. But we found a way to win. That's the bottom line.
gave good problem rebound trouble
I didn't have any trouble. One rebound I gave up was a little tentative, but I can't say that I had any trouble. ... It was a good test. I don't see it being any problem at all.
goals nice unhappy
If this is a regular-season game, you are unhappy and miserable, but I was only unhappy with two goals that I feel I should have had. But at this point, it was nice just to get into the game-day routine.
few flew
I have a few favorites, but I like 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' the best.
disaster involved stretch toughest
It's the toughest stretch I've been involved with in all the years I've played. It's just a disaster right now.
changes happen last stock team whatever year
No more this year than they have the last four, ... It's the same every year. I don't really put a lot of stock in it right now. Whatever is going to happen is a day-to-day thing in an organization like ours. We're a young team and if we are winning, things will be good. But if we're not, changes will probably be made. It's all part of the business.
bad definitely focus lose needed obvious ourselves realize rest spot
There was definitely a focus on what we needed to do for the obvious reasons. I think if we lose this game, we all realize that we put ourselves in a bad spot for the rest of the way.
