Brendan Morrison Team Quotations

As a team we just weren't good enough defensively and our deficiencies came to the forefront when it mattered most.

We know we're not getting any younger. We're a team that gained quite a bit of experience here the last four years of the playoffs. We've also had early exits the last four years.

We've been struggling of late and we're in a real dogfight in the division, so when we play games that we're supposed to win we have to ... beat these teams. These are the teams others in the conference have been piling up points against.

Going into to the game, I knew I had to step it up. There's no sense hanging your head about it. You've got to go out and do the little things and help the team win. Last game I felt good, but didn't get too many chances. It feels good to get the first one. I knew it's only a matter of time before I notched my first goal and got a few points.

When you're labeled as an offensive team and you don't do it, it's a little frustrating, but you just have to stay with it. It's one game, but it's a step in the right direction.
