Tried to capture some quotes from the Ward presser. Disclaimer - there are probably a lot of mistakes.
"The gaffs that we give up are big ones that come at inopportune times"
"It doesn't take talent to play away from the puck, it takes desire."
"We gotta get going here."
"Emotional level was fine until after the 4th goal." "Wavered a little after that." "We were fragile."
"At points, we needed to be more focused."
"It comes down to learn how to manage a game. Emotional changes in a hockey game."
"Have to be emotionally attached but also have to be emotionally in control and keep that stuff in check."
"The momentum swings for us in a game are huge, and we gotta work on managing that."
"We can't continue to give up the type of chances that we are. ... We gotta stop it, we gotta fix it. It bit us again tonight."
"I really believe that when we're sick and tired of losing, we'll find a way to win, but we need to find out exactly what that is."
"The effort is there, the detail is there."
"What comes next? Getting ourselves ready for Toronto. Gotta be some wrap up from what happened tonight. "
"We got to get ourselves prepared to win."
"Take out of this game what we need to, and apply it."
"It's not what you eat, it's how we chew it."
"We have to pay attention to those things and make sure we're taking charge of it. ... "The details need to be better"
