Bob Hartley Quotes
-
It's just another important win. They're all big wins. We're desperate. We didn't get the start (of the game) we were looking for. But we got back to our game and got some great goals. (It's) just another two points and there's a lot of hockey to be played.

Those things are all about timing. I thought for the first 10 minutes it was tough for both sides to get some shots. Both teams were playing very strong defensively. You have to fight for every inch, and suddenly a puck came loose.

If there's a problem with that hit then I'll retire.

It's too bad that we gave up that goal at the end, but that's going to happen. We found a way to come back and win it, which is a sign of a team that is desperate, but we're still on a mission.
-
Andy Sutton is not a dirty player by any means. I think he's a very honest player and he just tried to finish his check. It's unfortunate and you never like to see players get injured.

Our power play was really clicking. Lots of skill, lots of speed and lots of experience.
-
It was a game where we carried the play and they carried the play for a while. It was a big game and unfortunately, they got the final shot on power play and we didn't. It's just sad.
-
He was the dominant factor in this game, no doubt. The one thing we could have done was get in front of him better. But we moved the puck well, made some great decisions. But we couldn't finish.
-
I said this morning that in this business, you have to reward the players that are playing well, and Michael Garnett is definitely giving us a chance to win. It's pretty easy to say his confidence is growing, and our confidence in him is growing also.

That's a team that is one of the best when it comes to four balanced lines. There's no weaknesses and they are tough to play. So to leave this building with a win is certainly a big plus for us.

We need three more wins. There's no way we can settle for less than this. With three more wins we're going to force other people to win their games and basically that's a situation we want to be in.
-
There's never an easy loss, but I thought we started the game like we wanted to start. Unfortunately a couple of plays cost us the game. Buffalo is very confident right now and they take advantage of basically every one of their chances.
-
In the past years, this organization has been slapped more than we deserve it seems. But I think we're a pretty resilient organization. We showed people before that we can turn around and go through tough times as a bunch of pros. This is obviously another situation where we will have to adjust.
-
