I was skeptical of that call, but the officials didn't cost us the game. It was a great game, and Florida made the plays it had to make.
Mike's a good skater with quick hands, and he's one of those guys who has the natural ability to be in position to score. One of his main strengths is following his own shot. He's great at being in position to get the rebound and put it in the net.
For us to have an opportunity to win, our goaltending has to be outstanding, and Jake was certainly outstanding last week. It's great for the franchise that Jake won this award.
He's a great player. He can really make a difference in a game.
That's tough to take, because as a coach I know that we had a great chance to win three games this weekend but couldn't do it. Obviously, we're playing better than we were a few weeks ago, and that's good to see. Now we have to find a way to turn some of these close games into wins.
It was great to see Maris out there. We're proud to have someone from the Thunder at the Olympics.
It was a great win, and the crowd was wonderful. It was a good night.
