I thought we played well, and we're happy with the win. We just need to put a lot of wins together now.

We have been made to feel so welcome ever since we got to Thompson.

She's actually a pretty even-keeled kid. Nothing seems to faze her. She's not awestruck by anything. She's actually more of a calming influence than anybody on the team, and she's just a kid.

At this point, we're just going to try to play well and win our games. We're doing our best out here, we'll keep doing it (today) and see what happens. You know, five (losses) often isn't out, might not be out. The record, obviously it's disappointing, but not for a lack of effort and giving it everything out there. It just hasn't been going our way this week.

It's (2-5) not very good obviously. We're trying our best out here, and we'll just keep plugging away (today). There's always hope ... until somebody tells me we're out.

We've been throwing the rocks pretty well, I'm not putting the broom where we need to put it. I'm not reading the ice very well, which is part of our problem. But we've got to make the shots when we have the opportunity, and we haven't been doing that. When there's a door open, we're not going in.
