Dave Allison Good Quotations

I think it's a good test for our team. We're in a race, which is great for our guys because there are expectations. I don't think it's pressure. It's just expectations that if you do enough good things you put yourself in position to make the playoffs.

I think it's good for both parties. It allows him to keep playing and he's an excellent player, he's an NHL player. He's had a couple of days off. I think he enjoys the guys and we enjoy him. When you get a guy like that, it gives us more depth.

Our guys will learn from this experience and we'll get on it tomorrow. I know a couple good places to eat in Milwaukee, so we can just go back there on Friday.

We played short tonight and got a good effort, but we need to win those hockey games.

We played well, especially during the first 40 minutes. Chicago got some breaks on goals. . . . We've got some good guys in our dressing room. We'll right the ship and right it quickly.

We were in good shape. There was still a lot of game left.

We had a spirited effort in the first game, then there was a penalty shot. A lot of guys get satisfied with one good effort. They came at us (Saturday) and we had a hard time finding their level.
