It's disappointing. You have a chance at home to make a stand and we haven't done that.
I haven't really thought that much about it. It's nice down here (in Phoenix). You don't hear that much about it hockey-wise.
Everyone's excited about that, but then you add the fact that every day Wayne Gretzky is going to be our coach -that's pretty special.
We played the whole game in our zone and we can't afford to do that. This is a challenge to each one of us in this room to be better.
Tonight I think we picked up our desperation and urgency. We need to do that, or else we were going to be in trouble.
When you get a chance to play with him you know it's going to be creative, it's going to be fun. Nothing is better than that when you play hockey.
We can't stress enough the specialty teams and how important they are. If you want to win in the league now you have to have a good power play and then that's going to make it a lot easier.
We had some big goals to keep tying it up, but we needed to find a way to get that lift and to get the one to get the lead. We never managed to get the lead.
We have to stick together now. No one is going to feel sorry for us. We have to find ways to pull ourselves out of this.
You grow up playing five games in three days in tournaments. It's like going back to peewee hockey again.
We just haven't played with enough urgency when we've played them.
We don't have any room to lose. Every loss for us is huge.
Those are huge moments that I'll always remember. And I'll never forget the last game we played there before moving to Phoenix. It was the loudest building I've ever been in for a sporting event ever. I couldn't hear what my teammates were saying.
When we play as a team with five men, we're solid. It's when we get trying to do individual stuff that we really struggle.
