Dave Tippett Couple Quotations

He made a couple good saves. He took a lot of pressure this game on himself.

I thought it was excellent. We blocked a lot of lanes and didn't give them a lot to shoot at, and on the chances they did get to the net, Turco was real good. We got a couple of big goals but the penalty-killing was the key for us.

We were fortunate to win in a shootout. Marty was excellent and he made some big saves for us, and we found a couple of ways to score.

The last couple games, we have made decisions that have come back to bite us. You have to look forward to the next game. You have to win four games to win a series, and the last time I looked nobody has won four yet.

It's the only way to judge them, throw them in those games. We are required to play eight veteran players, and we'll probably have the minimum the first couple of games. As camp moves on, because we haven't played in a while, those last three of four games, I'd like to have the lineup kind of set.

It's a couple of individual mistakes that cost us the game. That's the bottom line.
