needed penalty save
I thought our penalty kill was a little better tonight. And that, coupled with Snowy making the big save when he needed to. was the difference.
complete forward good jason knows news support thoughts
Our thoughts are with Jason tonight. He knows he has the complete support of his team. We look forward to getting him back, but that's for another day. The good news is that he's going to be OK.
bad dumb finally gave good last played score snow takes teams took worried
I think Snow played a good game. I thought he gave us a chance. We let him down. That's the last person I'm worried about. We took lazy, dumb non-hard working penalties. It only takes one bad clear, one play. Good teams finally score on you. That's what happened.
center chipping deep good supposed teams
We got away from the little things. Chipping when you're supposed to, getting to center ice, we don't get it in deep like we're supposed to. The little things that good teams do, we didn't do.
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.
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.
might
If it wasn't for Garth, it might have been 20-1.
good time top
He was at the top of his game. The time off was good for him.
happened knee took
He went down awkwardly, and took a knee to the head. Everything just happened all at once.
couple
You'd like to have a couple of those a year. You don't usually get any of those at this level.
five knew seven
I don't have any idea why. We knew they would come out and skate, and we didn't keep up with them for the first five or seven minutes.
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.
excited surprised
I think he was excited to be back. No, I'm not surprised he did what he did.
missed net
We missed the net a lot. A lot more than I'd like to admit.
