The one thing we’ve been able to do is get a few extra bodies here, and that has helped. If a player is fatigued or something, you’re able to spread around the ice time a...

Our penalty kill in the last month in general has been really good. That’s an area, a reason why our goals against has been really down because of the improvements in our penalty killers and...

Our effort wasn’t too bad but we didn’t work smart at all. We didn’t give up a lot of quality chances, but the ones we did, they were able to capitalize on them. The mistakes...

You can play defense as long as you are aggressive and forcing, and I thought we did a good job of that in the first half of the game and not so much in the...

We’ve been getting production from a lot of different people and that’s a real positive.

We took a couple unfortunate penalties, and that put us in a little bit of a bind.

You can take good, aggressive penalties, but we’re not doing that. We’re either overzealous, or we’re carrying our sticks carelessly and not playing with smarts. We just have to have better energy combined with brains,...

It was not a good game. We just didn’t play a good game.

He played solid. He was consistent all game. He did a good job on penalty killing, which was big for us.

I thought it was a good win for us. Everybody contributed, and it was a good 60 minutes of effort. It was just what we’re looking for.

We didn’t do some of the simple things we had done the last two games. We didn’t do them tonight and we got outplayed.

We’ll just take the win and move on. We need to play two good solid home games and start the playoffs.

We got in that habit of being too protective and not wanting to give something up. When you think like that, you get yourself into that, as they say in football terminology, ‘prevent defense.’ You...

It’s a game of opportunities and making the most of them. We didn’t, and they did.

He had a good jump tonight, led our team in shots and scored three of them. He could have had a couple more.

We’ve turned around our defensive play and our goaltending has improved with that. They go hand in hand. After some shoddy play early in the season, we’ve improved that (defensive) area.

We’ve seen the good things he can do for our team, having had him here before.

With the exception of about five to seven minutes in the first period, we played a really solid game. It was kind of similar to the last game we played against Port Huron. We controlled...

I think things are moving positively and in the right direction. There are things we can sharpen up as far as execution and responsibilities. There are little plays, systematic plays that we have, that it’s...

We were very average. The biggest thing is we didn’t have any sharpness to our game tonight. We made some very poor decisions that caused goals. We can’t have that any time, let alone a...

For his first time skating in eight or nine days, and I gave him a lot of information late (Monday) afternoon, he did a good job and competed well for us. He brings some veteran...

It’s going to be difficult to (make a major trade) because so many teams are jostling for playoff position and they’re not going to be willing to part with anything without you giving up a...

You want to have a system where players are interchangeable. When you go through a number of injuries like we did, there are a fair amount of positives that can come out of it. Generally,...

(St. Pierre) plays with a lot of pride. Everybody has personal goals, and shutouts are something he takes personal. He’s had his chances (lately), and he always seems to get a bad break. This is...

The emphasis for us is to keep playing well and keep getting wins. Let’s take care of business day-to-day.

We gave up a 2-0 lead in the first period (Saturday), and we have to learn from it. We have to play smarter and tighter.

He has been capitalizing on his chances more now than at the beginning of the year. It has been good for him and the club.

It is good for our team to finish as high as possible.

Those (penalties) need to get fewer, you’re right.

I believe when we’re all working hard, we’re content with what we have. There were some opportunities to make trades, but we weren’t able to make anything happen that would be right at this time.

In the second period we were just terrible. They were able to take advantage of our poor play.

We let one slip away. We didn’t play smart with the lead.

The opponent, at any time, and especially at this time of the year, is kind of irrelevant in that regard. There are some things you’re going to look to counter against with certain teams, but...

I’m not a big worrier simply due to the fact that it doesn’t do anything for you. It’s a matter of getting our hockey club to play consistent hockey, and that’s what we have to...

We’re getting a little better as far as not coughing the puck up as much. When we do, that’s when we tend to give up more shots. That’s something that has gotten better generally as...

We let up a little bit. We gave away two goals. We made some bad decisions and need to learn from our mistakes for success.

When we take penalties, a lot of the time it’s out of frustration through our own frustration and out of carelessness or we stop skating. When we’re moving and banging and crashing, we don’t take...

It doesn’t matter what type of player you are. Are you willing to go through traffic to score some goals? If you’re not, shame on you. Really, shame on you.

This was as good as we’ve competed in awhile. It was a good bounce-back game from Wednesday. It was a good effort. It was a matter of playing better hockey. We had a good start...

He played really well, especially in the third period, he made some key saves for us. There were a couple right on his back on the goal line. ‘¦ Any time you come in cold...

It was a good effort and we had good energy. We made the most of our bounces. We created some good bounces for ourselves. ‘¦ We were able to get our emotions and our wheels...

He did a good job of controlling his rebounds. That was good for him and good for the team. I think that last 10 or 12 minutes, Rockford really threw everything they had at us....

I don’t know what he’s thinking. And when he tells me he thinks he’s ‘doing an excellent job and calling an excellent game,’ I guess there’s a difference in opinion and that’s where the issue...

I’m sure teams will try a few wrinkles here and there, but I think you just have to go out and play hard.

We’ve just got to get better energy combined with brains.

We had too many penalties in the first, and they were able to score two power-play goals. We battled back and played much better after the first 12 minutes. Generally our play got better as...

Sooner or later it just happens, so we try to prepare for it as much as we can.

It’s nothing serious. If we had to play him we probably could have, but we are erring on the side of caution.

We’ll take a point any way we can get it. We battled back the last two periods after having just a terrible first period. We were nowhere to be found. Our game slowly got better...

There’s a few familiar faces, but just the fact that we’ve played them 10 times this year means we are familiar with them and they are familiar with us. We’ve had good games with them...
