Even though they've pretty much dominated us in the first three games, the good news is we're still right there with them.
Bob Hartley -
You never like to see any of your players or teammates go down. There was blood on the ice and everything and when you see players and the referees asking for help it's not a pretty good feeling because you're helpless.

He's the guy with the most experience. When you first look at him, he's been a captain, he can score, play defense, mix it up. That combines to one word and that's respect.
Bob Hartley -
It's funny how human nature works. You get a big guy back, and suddenly you think that the goals are just going to come.
Bob Hartley -
It's a matter of playing our game. Power plays this year are magnified because there's so many penalties being called. In all the games, you're going to get some power plays if you skate. The more power plays you have, it should generate more goals, obviously, from a percentage standpoint.
Bob Hartley -
There's going to be a lot of 5-on-4s and 5-on-3s because obviously the referees want to make a statement. It makes for some interesting hockey.
Bob Hartley -
We have the same team that we did before. But the race is getting tougher and tougher. It's only January, but we're already looking at scores after the game to see who's losing and who's winning.
Bob Hartley -
You can't go to the pharmacy to buy a pack of experience, you have to be in those games in order to acquire that experience.

Right now we are playing good hockey and making a push for the playoffs. I thought the effort was great and we are skating very well.
Bob Hartley -
This morning in the dressing room they were as down as I've seen a hockey club. Tonight they showed a lot of character. I have tremendous respect for this team.
Bob Hartley -
I think that's a fair assessment. When you're on a winning streak, it seems you can't do anything wrong, and even when you do something wrong, it seems that it's overshadowed by something bigger or better. When you're riding a losing streak, it seems you're always just one mistake from putting yourself back in that big hole.
Bob Hartley -
He looked like an NHL goalie. He felt very comfortable. Right now his confidence should be at the top. He's a good worker and a good kid and he's paid his dues in the organization, so the time has come for him to collect the reward.
Bob Hartley -
The beauty of coaching is that you are working with human beings. I feel very comfortable with my staff that we can make a difference, that we can make a difference on the ice.
Bob Hartley -
It seems like every game, we have chances to get on the board first but we're not capitalizing. We're firing blanks right now.

Then the Lord said, "This is the year of crazy, substantial hope." Then I saw many sitting around the Table of the Lord whom He was about to address. There was such communion, love, and honor. Then the Lord took His place at the Table. I was overwhelmed with the presence of the Lord. He was so alive. He was so much fun. But He made it very clear that this year the Body of Christ was being evaluated in their hope.
Bob Hartley -
You don't bother with what people on the outside are saying. I said we would make a run, and we're honest people. We'll work to the last game and see where it takes us. We'll either go home or go to the playoffs.
Bob Hartley -
It's two incidents basically a couple of games apart. It's bad timing. We're playing obviously awful right now, so obviously everything is thrown at us and rightfully so. Right now, we're getting what we deserve, it's as simple as this.
Bob Hartley -
I think he's going to be OK. From the way he looked on the ice and when he left the ice to this afternoon, it's amazing.
Bob Hartley -
Right now, I root for any team that plays against Tampa Bay. I think it is only normal at this point. We need help, and any teams that want to chip in, we really appreciate their help.
Bob Hartley -
Today is a very sad day across the hockey world and here in Atlanta. Boom Boom was an incredible man who meant a great deal to me, and I'm fortunate to have called him a friend and a mentor.
Bob Hartley
-
It's tough, because if you lose, you obviously lose ground, and if you win, you stay there. We just have to keep winning games and hope teams start getting in trouble.
Bob Hartley -
They're two great young players who will sell the National Hockey League for years to come.
Bob Hartley -
I thought we'd never score another goal, but we worked hard, we stuck together. What a great performance. Even though we got down 3-1, I think that's quite a testament to the guys.
Bob Hartley -
That is a remarkable accomplishment. Unfortunately, it came against us. But at the same time, it was in front of his fans - the same fans he has been so loyal to and have been so loyal to Luc.
