Was it a penalty or not? I saw the replay and it was questionable. They're calling everything. We didn't help ourselves. We ended up taking hooking penalties, holding and obstruction penalties.

Tonight, we didn't play with a sense of urgency. This was a huge game. Peoria is a division opponent. But we had more of the same, which was soft play.

Sometimes when a team gets the big lead the engines stop. It's tough to get it going again.

We always seem to be looking up at a two- or three-goal deficit.

Players have to realize they're playing for their jobs right now.

The first period killed us.

I'm kind of looking forward to it. If we get off on the right foot and win some games, who knows? We could become road warriors.
