Scott Gardiner Quotations

We're going to go after them by doing the same things we've talked about all year. And that's tightening up in our own zone, opening it up in the offensive zone like we have been the past month or so, and 60 minutes of effort.

We're part of a professional team and a professional league and it's run like that. To me, it's night and day. We've had plenty of players knocking on our door, whereas that wasn't the case with the Enforcers and what we were putting on the ice.

We had a long heart-to-heart with our team. It's frustrating to come home and not get the effort from the team. We've lost confidence in ourselves and our team and we've got to get back on track.

Going into next season, our guys are going to know how to battle every night.

It was a great weekend for us. To get the four points is big, getting over .500 is big, but it's how we did it - with so many different guys doing different things. It's important for us to know we can win with different combinations and with different guys stepping up.

We just have to take the last 10 minutes of the game tonight and roll it into tomorrow. We have to come out and play like we're not going to wait around to get it going like we did tonight.

I liked our effort. We worked so hard, and I'm so proud of how our guys came together at the end of the season to play their best hockey of the year, and I can't thank them enough for that.

Jeremy was unbelievable. He gives up one goal last night and one tonight ? he certainly did his job.

We kept our focus for three periods tonight. When we had a breakdown tonight, we were able to bounce back quickly. We shook up the lines a little bit, too.

That really hurt. Since then, mentally we haven't been able to get ourselves back in the game.
