needless penalties period point second took turning
The turning point was the second period with all the penalties. We took some silly, needless penalties there.
against behind early expect fall teams
You can't fall behind too many teams 3-0 that early and expect to come back. To do it against Ottawa?
anyone fun goes good guy initial news
The initial news was positive. But it's never a good thing when a guy goes in like that and doesn't move. . . . It couldn't have been fun for anyone to see him go down.
Alexei is our leader, on and off the ice. This just makes it official.
notch plain played respond smart team took
I thought we played well the first two periods. But when the other team took it up a notch in the third, we did not respond with smart hockey, plain and simple.
great news player present
It's great news that Ricky's in the fold. He is a very important player for our franchise's present and future.
game heels next point rangers score turning
That was the turning point of the game for us. If the Rangers score the next goal, it would probably have set us back on our heels a bit.
We should've won. It was right there for us.
best excuse goes injuries means opportunity played players team
It's a loss, no doubt. Shawn had been one of our best players of late. But every team goes through injuries and it won't be an excuse for us. Shawn played a lot, so this means opportunity for other players.
good period played points seemed skate
We'll take the two points any way we can. We played a good 45 minutes. It seemed in the first period we couldn't or wouldn't skate with them.
almost chance four gotten guys lines penalty playing point score until
I was playing almost four lines up until that point but you take a penalty and they score a goal, I can't take a chance that you're going to take another penalty, so I went with the guys who had gotten us to that point, and the other guys had gotten us to that point.
good moving
He was moving his extremities, so that's a good sign.
best definitely execution fresh legs power simply
Not our best effort. We had enough fresh legs in there that conditioning was definitely not a problem. The execution simply wasn't very good, especially on the power play.
good time top
He was at the top of his game. The time off was good for him.
