Steve Stirling Took Quotations

He went down awkwardly, and took a knee to the head. Everything just happened all at once.

We took lazy, dumb, not hardworking penalties. We were never the same after it was 3-2 because they were coming like gangbusters.

I think Snow played a good game. I thought he gave us a chance. We let him down. That's the last person I'm worried about. We took lazy, dumb non-hard working penalties. It only takes one bad clear, one play. Good teams finally score on you. That's what happened.

I thought we played well the first two periods. But when the other team took it up a notch in the third, we did not respond with smart hockey, plain and simple.

He took a penalty and I couldn't afford to put him on the ice again, and have him take another one.

The turning point was the second period with all the penalties. We took some silly, needless penalties there.

This was the first night I felt really comfortable as a coach. We only took six penalties, and hardly any were bad. If we can continue to do this on a regular basis, we'll be better for it.
