ahead care extra gained games huge moved points regular teams
It's huge to get that extra point. We don't care what other teams are doing. That's just like a regular two points for us. It's a win. No other way to put it. With 29 games left, we gained a point (on Toronto) and moved up two points on the teams ahead of us.
along everybody gets lost needed
We just got along great. It put you as part of a team. You needed everybody you had. That sometimes gets lost today.
hearing obvious power sick together
We all know what to do. We've all been together long enough to know what to do and what makes the power play work. We're just not doing it. It's the obvious thing and I'm sick of it. We're all sick of hearing it.
game huge
Every game is huge right now. We're going to get out of this.
games grab hold sure
Those two games we have to grab a hold of it. It's not the end of the world yet. We just have to make sure we nip it right away.
bit game waiting
We (went) just a little bit back to where we were before this run. We started the game pretty good, but as the game went on, we were just waiting and hoping. We got off what (we do well). Don't know why. But that's what happens: a 2-1 loss.
against games six stop
We scored six against Philly, but we've got to stop having these games where we're 1-1. We need more desperation offensively.
compared football interested people seems
Even compared to football it seems people are more interested in us.
demons far period third
It's far from done, but we got some things accomplished (in Ottawa). We exorcised some demons in the third period (Sunday) in that building.
far
It's far from done, but we did get something accomplished.
cup fight hearing last move needed saw sick talked teams tonight
This is great. We talked about getting closure. I think we all needed that. It's been a while. Not that we're sick of hearing of it, but we've got to move on. It's not our Cup anymore. We saw it tonight for the last time, and now we'll fight like the other teams to try to get it.
competition game
This is the competition we're used to playing, and this is the game we're used to playing.
bouncing control puck
There were a lot of bouncing pucks, but I don't think we were that sharp. Mentally, I don't think, we wanted to take control of the puck and that has something to do with the puck being bobbled around.
chances plays power
They probably had more chances on our power plays than we had.
