from George Johnson of the Calgary Herald,
Maybe his players weren’t prepared to barnstorm at the level required on the ice. But a distinctly dissatisfied Brent Sutter didn’t mind crashing the net with calculated abandon in the Ed Whalen Media Lounge afterwards.
“We weren’t good enough tonight,’’ he confessed with flat finality, the lack of zeal displayed in Tuesday’s 1-0 loss still gnawing at his innards like a five-alarm chili smothered in Tabasco.
“You play a second period like THAT? At THIS time of the year?
“We’re a team fighting to get into a playoff spot. You cannot have a second period like we played — we played the whole period in our own zone. For me it was disappointing. I was disappointed how we played here tonight, frankly . . . to be quite honest about it.
“It’s a 0-0 hockey game going into the third — you (should) find a way to win, even though you haven’t played very well up to that point.”
