Ron Wilson Couple Quotations

It's hard to know what's going to happen in the next few days, because there are so many teams still in contention. But some teams could lose a couple of games, and suddenly they're not looking to buy anymore.

We took a couple of bad penalties at the end and it cost us big-time.

A couple of soft plays and we handed these two points away, just not one but two. And it's a shame.

It's a hard game for him because the first half of the game, he only had a couple situations, but really he didn't face any rubber. That's hard for a goalie to maintain his focus and composure, but he did.

The extra couple of days certainly help the coaching staff. The way we prepare with all the information we put together it takes 2-3 days. This gives us enough time to be prepared.

They're simple mistakes to correct, however inexcusable to make because they're simple positioning failures. And a couple times you lose, whether it's a battle in the corner or on the third goal a giveaway, moments like that at the end you look back as being the turning point.

He's been shying away from taking pucks, going wide and taking to the net and he did that a few times tonight. For some reason he spent most of the first couple months not being involved and being on the outside. To his credit, he got the job done tonight.

It's huge to get that out of the way. All we really do is get to think about it for a couple hours here and play Vancouver again. If we could get sixth or even fifth, that would be a real feather in our cap considering where we came from.

We've been missing that type of performance from a player all season. And hopefully that will light the fire under a couple of guys who are capable of doing it, but just haven't decided to do it.

I never would have thought when I first came to the Sharks a couple years ago that Cheech was going to be a 50-goal scorer. I thought we were looking at a great third-line grinder with some upside for scoring.

I think that first shot that Joe clanked off the pipe might have shaken them up a little bit. He provided a spark, but for the first time in a while we got a couple of breaks early in the game.
