Going to be a nice break for the next week here. Godpseed to anyone staying up to watch these.
The quotes from our guys in the OP make me sick.
From Hank “there’s no excuse to not go after that win” almost sounds like an echo of the same frustration many posters here have with AV putting plugs on the ice in the final 10 minutes instead of shortening his bench to deploy his actually talented NHL caliber bodies and go after 1 or 2 points.
From McDonagh “we kept trying to do things right but lost to a team that found a way to get a couple more than us”. Have some spine captain. They didn’t “find a way” to just get a couple more than you. They dictated play and had ample opportunities that Hank stopped when he probably shouldn’t have. Game could have been 5-1 Avs. They didn’t “find a way”.
And AV. I thought we did a lot of things well. But give them some credit, you know. It’s not like them beating us was entirely luck. Give them some credit?
I know it’s all just sound bytes and “what do you want them to say?” is the standard answer and they’re just being PC and just giving the same routine answers on autopilot but this team has no pulse, no accountability and no character outside of Hank, who is the only reason we’re 9-6-2 the last two months and not 5-11-3.
Props to @Loffen for putting Henrik’s quote first, makes the other ones that much funnier.The quotes from our guys in the OP make me sick.

To anybody: Is Grabner definitely out tonight?
That quote by McDonagh made me roll my eyes. He needs to be better if he's going to be the quiet lead by example type of captain with no fire.
I'm sure all my fellow Ranger Euro crew love this week / Cali road trip.

it's amazing. I go to bed early, wake up at 3 AM, watch the game and then go to work.
