It all comes down to our big guys. Right now, we need more from certain guys. When things are going bad every mistake ends up in your net.
bad control goals
It was 4-0 and we let them have two bad goals and things got out of control from there.
awful bad basically couple games incidents obviously playing rightfully simple thrown
It's two incidents basically a couple of games apart. It's bad timing. We're playing obviously awful right now, so obviously everything is thrown at us and rightfully so. Right now, we're getting what we deserve, it's as simple as this.
bad found gave goal sign team win
It's too bad that we gave up that goal at the end, but that's going to happen. We found a way to come back and win it, which is a sign of a team that is desperate, but we're still on a mission.

Tonight was not a typical Thrashers effort. We chased them all night. We didn't play our game.

To see McCabe back on the ice after 30 seconds speaks for itself ... case closed.
