I thought the effort was good. I think we lost our focus in the second period when we could of put the Flyers away.
-
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.
-
Our focus is on our two guys. We're praying about their health, to overcome this tragedy.
-
We're going to pick up whatever is left of him when it is over. I just hope the Finnish team will supply the elastic bands (used to treat groin injuries) when he comes back.
-
Our power play was really clicking. Lots of skill, lots of speed and lots of experience.
-
To see McCabe back on the ice after 30 seconds speaks for itself ... case closed.
-
He was just being the Scott Mellanby that started with us at the start of the year. He's a great competitor. He's at the net, he's paying the price.
-
Tonight was not a typical Thrashers effort. We chased them all night. We didn't play our game.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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. But it was one of those things. I think since it occurred just a couple of seconds after all those fights it looks way worse than what it is.
-
It all comes down to our big guys. Right now, we need more from certain guys. When things are going bad every mistake ends up in your net.
-
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.
-
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 had a dream where I was taken to Heaven and brought into a beautiful library. There I was given two golden books that were covered with dust. The Lord told me they were golden treasure that was needed for the Body of Christ to have the knowledge to proceed and succeed in this hour.
-
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.
-
You don't play with a head injury. You can come back from a broken leg, but ... a head injury could cost a guy his career.
-
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.
-
He has been our most consistent two-way player all year, and I can use him in any situation. He's an excellent offensive player with great speed and he is unbelievably strong on the puck. He cares about the team's success and winning more than individual stats. He's an important part of our club and he deserves the recognition he is getting.
-
I have always trusted my instincts, I took some bold decisions in my life.....many people may say they were crazy risks.
-
I'm going to say that Pat Quinn can say what he wants. I don't care.
