from Curtis Zupke of Ducks Blog at the OC Register,
Hiller, who voiced displeasure after the Detroit game about his teammates allowing scoring chances, reiterated, along with Giguere and Carlyle, that it’s a group effort.
“Right now all we need is points,” Hiller said. “Goaltending can definitely (give you) a chance to win. That’s what we want to do and I think that’s what we try to do. But it’s not always that easy. It’s got to be the whole team.”
Tonight will mark the 20-game point of the season for the Ducks, who seem to carry an undercurrent of uneasiness after general manager Bob Murray’s recent comments that players will depart before Carlyle does if the losing continues.
Giguere bluntly stated that the feeling-out period is long over.
“We’re 20 games into the season,” he said. “If you don’t know the system, you’ve got to go and ask the coach. If you have any question about anything, you’ve to go ask (captain) Scotty (Niedermayer) or go ask the coaches. Right now there’s no more excuses.”
