“Their penalty killing in this building is really, really good. They're probably the most aggressive penalty-killing team we've faced. That means you have to get an ugly goal, just like they did.”
“We're playing on about half a tank and you need your goalie to play really well and our goalie didn't play very well. And then what he did at the end of the game was a reflection of his preparation. It was a very undisciplined thing to do and I don't accept it.”
“Chin up. Let's go. This doesn't change anything. Remember I said from the outset, the team we need to stay with and now that we really need to stay with is Vancouver.”
“You look where this team is at and pro-rate it out, you'd be quite surprised with how well this team is doing, considering all the problems we have. Continue the pace. Considering everything this team has been faced with ... I give our team a lot of credit.”

“I could ask Phil to go on conditioning (assignment) and he could say yes or no. This way, I don't have to ask him. If I want to send him down, (I'll) send him down. We have two (goalies) playing in Omaha and 20 in the National Hockey League that could move here tomorrow. We're as good as our weakest player and the other night he was our weakest player. It's not acceptable.”
