I don't see this team moving forward without Jacques. He's brought so much credibility and knowledge into our dressing room by making the players responsible and doing the same thing for five years.

We're just a fragile team right now. It seems like when we have a little bit of adversity, when something goes wrong, you can feel it on the bench, it kind of sinks. Unless we get a goal or something really positive happens, it's tough. I think falling out of the playoff race takes the wind out of your sails for sure.

When you got a few guys out of the lineup, the other team has the puck. It's almost 60-40. When you got the puck, you're not going to be taking many penalties. Sometimes, it's now how many you take it's when you take them.

I know one thing. The coaching staff and management on our team will remember our last 10 games of the season more than they'll remember the first 10 games. There's some guys in here that are playing for their careers.

There are four or five guys in the room all the time with groin injuries. There's no rhyme or reason.

We're fine. I don't think anyone is discouraged by what happened here tonight.
