“There are times when this team, we don't come with the energy we'd like. We've got to come to the rink and play 60 minutes every night or else we're not going to win a lot of games. We know that as a team.”
“We came out real flat and really didn't play a good first period. Then we took the upper hand. It took a little bit of a scolding in the first (intermission), but that's what it took (to get us going).”
“Some guys are more skaters, and the big guys know that's where they are going to score goals. You have to understand the game and where the shots are coming from and where shots can end up.”
“They're both fighting for first overall, so they're not going to come here and put out a bad team. They're going to put out their best team on the ice that night, so it's going to be a good test for us. We'll see what we have and what we need to do to beat these teams. It will be a good test for us, and we'll see if we can rise to the occasion.”
“The work ethic and energy has been there, for the most part. We just haven't finished. We have to find a way. Hopefully the bounces start going our way, but we have to start creating those, too.”
