games missed penalty power won
We missed a lot of opportunities, especially in the third, on the power play. In the playoffs, the games are often won on the power play and penalty kill. And our penalty kill has been great.
games power worked
These are real important games right now. Tonight, the power play worked really well.
chance division happy looking start toughest
We didn't have the start we were looking for, but we have the toughest division in the NHL. We're pretty happy with our standing. We have a chance to be first in our division, and that's what we're looking for.
good nearly playing potential saving though
Even though the potential is there, I don't think he was playing nearly as well as he's been this year. He's good saving the puck, and playing it too.
battle expect lots playing power practice settle
(There's) lots of frustration. We're going to have to battle harder. That power play's got to get going. Right now I think we just have to settle down and practice hard. Some of us are not playing very well. I expect more out of myself, especially on that power-play unit.
caught course games last maybe period playing
We got caught sleeping. We've been playing so well in the first period over the course of the last 10 games and tonight, maybe we were a little over confident.
against confidence easily last played rest solid successful tied
We played very solid after it was 3-0. We could have easily tied it up. If we play the rest of the way like we did the last 30 minutes, we're going to be successful against any team. It should be a confidence builder.
game hold playoffs sure
We have to make sure we hold on to that (the lead). In the playoffs it's really important that once you are up by one or two (goals) that the game is over.
bigger bring nobody older replace role starting step
I'm starting to be a little older now and starting to have more of a bigger role on this team, and it's going to be up to me to step up. I'm not replacing Peter; nobody will replace Peter, but I want to bring a little more on the ice.
few games good last power problems tonight
The problems we've had the last few games was not getting in the zone. Tonight we set it up and generated good chances. We had a good power play and should have had a few more goals.
happen home last stretch win
We just didn't want to see the same thing happen as we did last week. This was an important win for us and this is a very important home stretch for us.
game gentleman great guys last realize respectful
He's a great person. You guys have been around him for the last little while and you realize how much of a gentleman he is and how respectful of the game he is.
chances created felt few games maybe past skating
For us to be successful, I've said it many times, we need to be skating. I felt with our skating we've created a lot chances the past few games and, yes, we did get a few bounces going our way. But I think with our skating we created a lot of opportunities and maybe that's what created those bounces.
bad depth few net scoring teams tools win
Obviously, we're not some of the teams in the past. We don't have as much depth as we had in the past, scoring wise. We did play bad a few games, and with Patrick (Roy) in net and (Peter) Forsberg and all the tools we had offensively, we could still win the game.
