You say we’re at the top, but there are so many teams all within one, two or three points
You generate power-play opportunities based on offensive-zone time, puck possession, speed, quickness, advantages ... There were few [examples].
We were really weak in the puck area ... We didn't win any puck battles.
We had a decent start, but they played that perfect checking game and frustrated us ... It wasn’t pretty. There were a couple of shifts [in the third period] where there looked like there was some [energy], but it wasn’t enough for me. . . . I thought we were really weak in the puck area.
It’s a dangerous game ... Whether it’s jet lag or sometimes (with) your legs you don’t have the energy that you had. Sometimes you’re at home and you get a little comfortable or you might think you have to try to put on a show. The trend and the history is definitely accurate, where it’s tough and chall...
His play has been very good
Every game (Toews) does things that show the type of character he has and the leadership that he provides ... Sometimes they don't end up on the stat sheet but you like his competitiveness and how important every shift is.
That's the way we wanted to play going into that game ... We play like that, we'll find ways to get points.
We'll see ... He's going to give it a go there in warm-ups. Game time [decision].
He has been excellent this year ... He has been a consistent offensive threat, has the puck a lot, has recognition of plays and defensively he seems to kill a lot of plays. His positioning is strong, he's strong in the puck area and he complements our special teams as well. A lot of times he's a driving...
Collectively as a team, our system, we’ve got to tighten it up: [penalty kill], ‘D’-zone coverage and defending on the rush
We always measure what we gave up and what we gave up tonight was our own doing — five goals that were all preventable, the way we have to play or the way we want to play.
Maybe we thought we were better than we were going into today’s game or looking for an easy game
Some nights you don’t have to score five or six goals to win hockey games ... It’s a 1-1 hockey game [after the first period]. We can win 2-1; we can win 3-2; we can go to overtime. I don’t think we have to think we have to score five or six to be effective.
Ben is coming off an injury and he was back down (in Rockford) playing
He’s having an outstanding year
We saw what can happen when you put them on the power play
We'll know more each day but he's out (Wednesday night).
There are a lot of reasons ... It’s not an easy thing to go through, and there’s not too much you can do different about it.
It’s a long season ... It’s a short off-season. It’s motivation. Teams are preparing against you. There are a lot of reasons. It’s not an easy thing to go through. Eventually, everything kicks in.
They are tough to contain, they are dangerous in so many ways
