camp career continued everybody four group guys hockey last lines months patch resilient rough theme three training
We're a pretty resilient group and everybody has chipped in. I think a lot of guys have had career years. Right from training camp I thought we had four lines that could score. We've kind of continued that theme all season. We had a little rough patch in December, but over the last three months we're never out of a hockey game.
great hockey needed played road sure win
I think they played a great road game. They did everything I'm sure they wanted to do and we didn't do the things we needed to do to win a hockey game.
bit roller taken
I think they've taken away a little bit of the battles. It's part of hockey. If not, it's kind of roller hockey. Roller hockey, that's not good.
best bottom luxury opportunity plays stars team teams three win
I think the team that has the best chemistry, plays like a team the most, is going to have the opportunity to win the most games. I don't think teams have the luxury to have more than three stars on a team anymore. I think that's the bottom line.
lucky wish
I wish I could say I anticipated the puck, but I got a lucky bounce.
games january lose mistakes nice opening start stretch sure train
We have stretches in games where we kind of lose our train our thought, we start opening up and making mistakes in different areas. We really got to make sure that we do the right things for 60 minutes. We had that nice little stretch in January when we did that and were successful.
care character eight good guys nine ok room winning
We have a lot of good character guys in the room that care about winning and care about each other. We have probably five, six, seven, eight nine guys that are like that, so I think we're OK in that department.
approach everybody hockey knows momentum morning playoff wake win
We had to win this one. Everybody knows playoff momentum shifts real quickly. I think we'll wake up (this) morning and take the approach that we have to go in there and win a hockey game.
few fortunate
We got to get back to the way we should be playing. We have to be sharper. They got a few bounces. We are fortunate to be up 3-1. We've just got to play smart.
body guess hard needed nights proper
It's hard to explain. I guess there are nights when they are going to be called like that, and we didn't make the proper adjustments. Our body positioning wasn't where it needed to be.
came downer score
It was a downer when they came back to score right after we did.
fun game good stopped
They had some good chances, but we stopped them. It was a fun game to play.
afford battle coming game home neck nine period road teams tight
This is such a tight battle with nine or 10 teams that are neck and neck. Coming home is big for us. We can't afford a letdown. A lot of times when you're on the road for a period of time, you come back and have a letdown for a game or two.
five game gotten kept minutes played tied win
This game was played in spurts. If we could've kept it tied with five minutes to play, we could've gotten a win tonight.
