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...

It’s a tough game to play as far as the way the game was called. It was just so poor that it made it a difficult game to play. In defense of especially our team,...

Rockford will be the prohibitive favorite, and they should be. They’ve had an excellent season. We’re flying under the radar, and we’ll play our game.

I know the guys gave everything they had. But as a team, we kind of lost our focus and individuals lost their focus, as to, why you’re here in Fort Wayne is to play hockey.

I don’t know that it’s anything specific. Generally we’ve been a pretty good club in the first period. I think it’s just a matter of playing 60 minutes. Tonight we took some lazy, lazy penalties...

Boy we had a lot of good opportunities. We put a lot of rubber at them. To our credit, we stayed persistent. ‘¦ If it takes that many shots to get it done, then keep...

He’s played well for us. I think he kind of lost possession of the puck there, he said, ‘Well I better do something with it.’ ‘¦ Luckily for us, we scored four of seven of...

We’ve got some versatility with our lineup. We’ve played without Colin in our lineup before and played pretty well. That’s what we’re going to need to do again.

He’s got to be moving and finishing hits. Tonight, he had a couple good hits and that’s going to be one of the most important ingredients in his game.

We were not too bad for the first two periods.

It’s just the doctor’s recommendation. It’s just going to take too long for him to get back to healthy status anytime soon. This is what’s best for the team and for himself.

As a coach, (Potvin) was much like he was as a player. He was intense and demanded hard work out of his players. He wanted to win.

It’s about getting consistent efforts. We can build off this game. It was generally a good effort and we’ll need more of that this weekend.

I think he’s got to go the net. Put his stick on the ice, go to the net, get some garbage goals, simplify it.

Our thinking part is really the area (that needs work). The simplistic nature that we need to dictate and play with was lacking. I thought we looked frustrated and we ran ourselves out of position...

At this time we don’t think it’s anything serious, but we’re making sure.

We’ve got to get together, play well and play hard. This is an experience you have to learn from. You have to overcome it and adapt and keep pushing forward.

He had a nice shot on a 2-on-1 and a nice power-play goal. It was good for him and good for the team.

We’ve got to play disciplined. Move your feet and quit running around like an idiot.

One man’s loss is another man’s opportunity, I guess. We have some extra forwards around here. We’ll see what they have. He wants to play in Europe and there’s no sense whining about it. We’ll...

We have had trouble scoring, but we stayed with the program tonight. We kind of plotted through the game and did not have a high intensity level. But we did what we had to do...

We had a lot of quality chances. You’re generating good chances and you feel good about that. You’d like to score more when you get those chances. That being said, we stayed persistent and good...

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

He didn’t play too badly. It’s just a matter of getting a little rust off.

I’m not a big worrier simply because it doesn’t do anything for you. If I thought it was productive, I’d worry. It’s a matter of getting our hockey club to play consistent hockey.

He scored 34 goals in juniors (with Kingston of the Ontario Hockey league in 1997-98). He’s more than capable of scoring 30-plus or 40-plus goals in our league. He just needs to get it set...

(It was about) playing away from the puck and tying up people. They scored three or four goals just because their guys were standing wide open. We were standing around watching. ‘¦ We lost the...

I got no concrete answer (from the officials). It was a delayed call on one of their guys for a penalty, and there was a scramble in front of the net. Then one of the...

The last two games we haven’t played with intensity or smart intensity. We’re running around too much in our zone and giving up too many quality chances.

When you go three games and only score three goals that is cause for concern. You just have to work through it, but there is no easy way to do that.

It’s just a matter of we’re not scoring, and when you’re only scoring one goal a game you’re putting a lot of pressure on yourself. It’s hard to win games like that. That’s just not...

I thought it was a good game all around. There was lots of action and both teams played hard. It was a good win. We’ll take it and move on.

We had a good game. We played three good periods and it was a good road win. We just generated a lot of opportunities because we were moving and skating well tonight.
