Steve Stirling Good Quotations

He was at the top of his game. The time off was good for him.

He said he felt good and he was ready to go.

He was moving his extremities, so that's a good sign.

He didn't look good coming off but the early report is that it wasn't too bad.

I think it'll be a great challenge. And it's a whole lot more comforting to go into the game against Ottawa coming off a pretty good game.

Our thoughts are with Jason tonight. He knows he has the complete support of his team. We look forward to getting him back, but that's for another day. The good news is that he's going to be OK.

I think Snow played a good game. I thought he gave us a chance. We let him down. That's the last person I'm worried about. We took lazy, dumb non-hard working penalties. It only takes one bad clear, one play. Good teams finally score on you. That's what happened.

We got away from the little things. Chipping when you're supposed to, getting to center ice, we don't get it in deep like we're supposed to. The little things that good teams do, we didn't do.

We'll take the two points any way we can. We played a good 45 minutes. It seemed in the first period we couldn't or wouldn't skate with them.

The initial news was positive. But it's never a good thing when a guy goes in like that and doesn't move. . . . It couldn't have been fun for anyone to see him go down.
