Darryl Sutter Good Quotations

We're being totally dominated in our own end. Hopefully it's good for our team to get dominated by two teams that are clearly better than us on back-to-back nights because it's clearly evident that our top players, our leadership group, have to take charge of the performances of the group.

Would've preferred to get one more point (in a 3-2 shootout loss to St. Louis Monday) but I think coming off a tough month -- nine of 13 on the road -- I think that we did a good job and stuck with it.

He's a good player. The thing about Dustin Boyd is he's a 200-foot player. There's some other guys that get a lot of splash because they're spectacular when they have the puck but he's a good player in all areas of the game.

He was really good. It was good to see.

After the first period, it wasn't 1-0. It should have been more for them. Early, we had some players that weren't ready to play and that's disappointing. It's guys that you count on and everybody expects to be good players.

It's about warriors. There's guys that we're counting on and that they're counting on to be really good in the trenches.

It's good to see them get rewarded, finally, because ... there are players that cave in at some point.

I'd say we played a good first period.

I could ask Phil to go on conditioning (assignment) and he could say yes or no. This way, I don't have to ask him. If I want to send him down, (I'll) send him down. We have two (goalies) playing in Omaha and 20 in the National Hockey League that could move here tomorrow. We're as good as our weakest player and the other night he was our weakest player. It's not acceptable.
