“The thing is, when it is a talented team like they are with those forwards, even when they are not shooting, they make you move so much. Those forwards are very underrated and some of the best in the game. I don’t know if we can play that style of hockey. We have to come out and compete a little better, maybe.â€￾--Robert Esche
“If you look at way we played tonight, the level of game was very fast. But right now, [Esche] is right. We are having a hard time against fast teams. A pretty good example was Tampa Bay [6-0 loss] at home. Another fast team tonight. It looks like we have a hard time facing teams with a lot of speed who can move the puck. We find ourselves in a lot of trouble.â€￾--Simon Gagne
