Mike Ryn Game Quotations

We had the lead and we blew it. We're trying to make the playoffs and every point counts. If you miss it by one, you'll probably look back at this game, look at all the games we blew, and we've got to stop doing that. We've got to pull them out.

I never knew there were so many French people in Florida. It was fun, to tell you the truth. I felt like I was at a soccer game or something with two national anthems. Hopefully we can convert some of their fans.

We're not totally out of it. But it definitely makes it a lot harder. That's why people are disappointed. We wanted to win this game and the next one against them. That would have given us a good shot of sliding in.

We're starting to run out of games. We have to win some here to close that gap, get our road record up. That's been our downfall all year.

We beat ourselves. We gave them what they got. We were playing a good road game in the first period and just got away from it. That's happened a lot this year.

We can't let this affect us negatively. There's too many games left for us to feel sorry for ourselves now.

We had a lead in that game and we blew it. We have to learn to pull those games out. ... We're trying to make the playoffs and every point counts. If you miss it by one point, you probably look back at this game.

Look around and a lot of guys have barely had 200 games in the NHL. They haven't been around that long. As a defenseman you don't really understand the game until you're up around 300.

We just got too far behind and now we're paying for it. We know it's tough this time of year. We're just going to keep on working and hopefully these games against Tampa will be key.
