We knew what was at stake here. We need to win these games if we are going to improve.
More Quotes from Ken Hitchcock:
But the game is still played on the ice. Having been in the same shoes as Tampa once before (winning a Cup in Dallas in 1999), you don't want to disrespect somebody who has won a championship. And they earned it and deserved it. They're the ones with the knowledge right now. We're all searching for that.Ken Hitchcock
Yeah, I'm concerned. . . . You start thinking in terms of (muscular) defects going on. Right now this is a minor injury and we don't want to make anything more of it. But this is now the third occurrence in that area and that's the part concerning everybody right now. We don't know whether this is minor or we have something bigger.
Ken Hitchcock
It seemed like every mistake we made went in our net. We deserved a better fate. We had a ton of things go right. We out-shot them. We out-chanced them. We outplayed them, but they're an opportunistic team and they took advantage of the mistakes we made. That's what good teams do.
Ken Hitchcock
To me, it's about new heroes. It's about people other than the obvious ones stepping up. It's about people supplying energy and momentum for you. We're in a no-choice situation. We need everybody to bring the energy they can.
Ken Hitchcock
We were a team going very well for an extended period of time. In the last 10 days we have not played near as well as we are capable of.
Ken Hitchcock
The stuff he's doing is ongoing. It's ongoing, on a daily basis. He's trying to play. He's not going to play (today), that's for sure. He's an athlete trying to get better.
