Here are some quotes from the Stars following the team's 5-1 loss in Boston Saturday night.
Stars goalie Marty Turco on the play in front of him
"For what I do, it seems I have guys trying to be
goalies and going after pucks. We need guys to take men and give us
lanes to see them. ... Whether we're pressing or feel the need to do
everything out there, it just doesn’t work.
I don't see these shots. I don't get a chance to see the guy
shooting the puck. ... Maybe it comes down to a trust issue. Maybe
they don't trust me to make a save. That I could actually believe."
Turco on the team's play
"It's sad. It's disheartening. Those are the types of games that show a lot. There's no sugar-coating anything anymore. We're in a rut that I haven't seen in a long time. It's not just going to be a couple days of practice that's going to get through to us. It's a mentality and a mind-frame and everybody has to be on board. I don't know what's going to happen."
Stars center Mike Modano on taking penalties and getting in verbal exchanges with refs and fans
“Tonight, it was idiotic and stupid. It was one of the
more embarrassing things I’ve seen, on the ice and with the fans. If
that's what we're going for, then they need to find me an office job.
... It was dumb
penalties, dumb situations. That’s kind of been the trend all season.
There’s no mental toughness. We’re allowing the refs to get involved in
the game and spending more energy on them than the details of winning
the game.”
Stars coach Dave Tippett on the week ahead
"We have a week off and this is an important week for us. There will a lot of evaluation. ... This is a group effort. You win as a team and you lose as a team. We are giving away too many opportunities. We have to look at our lineup and evaluate it right through."
