I feel like I'm skating and all that, but I feel the timing is not there. I certainly don't have the goals (four in 17 games) that I want.
I thought we beat ourselves tonight. All five of their goals came when we had the puck and turned it over.
We're not generating enough chances to score goals but I couldn't tell you why.
To win a game with that parade to the penalty box requires a good effort and a little luck. If you score six goals in this league, you're going to win nine out of 10 times.
As a team, we are scoring some goals but we still have a lot of work to do. If we want to compete with Ottawa and the other top teams in our conference, we have to do better in our own end.

Almost all five goals we had the puck and misplayed. I thought we beat ourselves tonight.
It could have been anyone of us. A lot of us have gone through tough stretches.

I think he's proven the last few years that he's one of the best defensemen in the league and he certainly deserved to go this year.

I think that we probably had our best first period. We've had so many ifs and buts in this tournament and we have not had strong starts, so today we focused on trying to get an early lead.
I think that we probably had our best first period out there today. We've had so many ifs and buts in this tournament...and it was fortunate that we were able to do that.
