"We've got to keep working at it. Obviously we're doing some good things in the game but we're also shooting ourselves in the foot time after time." "It's been an emotional roller coaster of late. We get down and then we get back and take the lead. Then we kind of went sideways. There was a couple of unfortunate bounces. We'll take the point and try to get better." "I think we have a pretty good group of guys here. But we can't afford to slip because the West is so tight. We're disappointed we didn't get both points." Tippett Jovanovski Doan
