They said it

"We look like we should have a way better record by the way we play, but in the details, we don't get it done. Not right now." -- Stars coach Ken Hitchcock
"Forget seven games. Forget the third period tonight. Let's start with the first shift and what our mentality is going to be at home. Not trying to please the fans with sauce passes or anything like that. Just getting down to work here. We need to dig in at home. This should be a building, when teams show up here, it's the wrong place at the wrong time."-- Coach Glen Gulutzan on the Flames' record at home
