It will be good to have some time off. We played three games in five days and we have a few bumps and bruises.

That was a huge goal for us. Their goalie made a nice save, but there was so much on the shot that it left a rebound.

What’s good is that we still control our destiny in the conference. It’s up to us to get the job done.

Nobody said it was going to be easy. This is a tough league.

They played well at home and their goaltender had a good game.

We gave up a late goal in the second period with five minutes left after giving up a goal late in the first. We need to get the puck in deep and stay out of...

We had two breakaways and missed on both of them. They had one breakaway and scored.

We were 1-for-4 with a man advantage and I would have liked us to have been 2-for-4. They really had two power-play goals, even though their second goal came just after the conclusion of a...

We had a two-goal lead and they scored kind of a crappy goal. And, it gave them a lot of momentum.

We came out tonight with a lot better emotion and played the body a lot better.

We were able to make it 2-1 and then Whitehead’s goal took some of the wind out of their sails.

It was a frustrating game in a frustrating year.

We did skate four lines and six defensemen and hopefully that will pay off for us tomorrow.

We’ve got to preserve a two-goal lead.

We need to get good team leadership. But, we need the seniors to step it up because they have to fear they could be playing their last game.

We were never able to get that all-important three-goal lead and knock the wind out of their sails. But, it was still a good win for us.

If they would have scored another goal to make it 4-0, I was thinking about putting (Chris) Molinaro in goal to rest Craig (Neilson) for tomorrow night.

We were able to get some goal scoring tonight. We drove to the net well.

Neilson did the job and that was one of the keys in the game for us. He was able to play better than their goalie.

We did a good job getting the puck to the net while skating 5-on-5. We also proved that we are a well-conditioned team.

We can’t pick who we’re going to play in the finals. All we can do is play Cardinal hockey.

We did a great job on the penalty kill and your goaltender is your best penalty killer.

We have to come out tomorrow and work just as hard. We have to bring our lunch pails.
