Steve Stirling Took Quotations

He went down awkwardly, and took a knee to the head. Everything just happened all at once.

We took lazy, dumb, not hardworking penalties. We were never the same after it was 3-2 because they were coming like gangbusters.

I thought we played well the first two periods. But when the other team took it up a notch in the third, we did not respond with smart hockey, plain and simple.

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.

This was the first night I felt really comfortable as a coach. We only took six penalties, and hardly any were bad. If we can continue to do this on a regular basis, we'll be better for it.

The turning point was the second period with all the penalties. We took some silly, needless penalties there.

He took a penalty and I couldn't afford to put him on the ice again, and have him take another one.
