“You’re going to lose hockey games. But you better want to battle somebody. It’s just ridiculous. hree games where we feel good about our effort and our compete, and then we come out here and do that? It’s a freaking joke.”

“That’s a team that competes hard on pucks and tests your mettle. We failed miserably tonight. Miserably. Our lack of determination in our one-on-one battles, fishing for pucks; you do that in this league, that’s what happens. You get your asses handed to you.”

“We’re going to watch this and we’re going to learn from this. “We have zero chance if we’ve got 20 guys in uniform not wanting to compete for pucks and get into people and have a little bit of snarl to your game.”
