Jarome Iginla Start Quotations

But we can improve. It was not a good road trip, but it's good to come home and start over with the home opener.

We'll learn and adjust from that game. Teams are too good around the league. You can't start like that.

I've never been part of such a quick goal from the start of the period. I've seen it a few times by other teams watching on TV and stuff. Seeing it go in was definitely a good feeling.

A couple years ago we were very excited just to clinch a playoff spot because we hadn't been there. But back then we also didn't go in thinking we just wanted to have fun; we wanted to win a series. This year we start just wanting to win one series.

It's a nice compliment. It's nice to have different expectations at the start of the season than being picked just out of the playoffs,

They were more desperate than us off the start and we didn't match it. It was that first period where we were very flat and they were good. They got out ahead of us and we didn't fully get back into it.

That's a nice change, ... You can pretty much the start the season in every city in the NHL and believe you have a shot at the playoffs and that certainly wasn't the case before.

In our last couple of games, we've just been a bit sloppier than what our game is and we've given up way too many goals. We've got to get back to doing what we do and that's winning the defensive battles. In the last couple of games, we've been losing those and everybody in our room knows it. That's where well have to start in order to get better.
