bad ends starting
It was just bad, everything, it started off bad and it was a waterfall, starting with myself making a turnover and it ends up in our net.
cap reason salary
There was a reason we didn't want a salary cap that low, especially for our team,
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.
hearing hold puck sick talented talking win
It shouldn't be like this. We know what to do and what to do to make it happen. We are all sick of hearing about it and talking about it. We have to do it. We have to win the battles. We are talented enough to win the puck and hold the puck.
anxious happy
It's been an anxious time, for sure, and they're all very happy and very proud.
finally hopefully start
It's been one of those years. We feel now that finally we got in, we can start over here hopefully and try to do something.
change figure good half month plays power teams three weeks year
It's been one of those years. A lot of good teams this year that did well, their power plays are pretty steady. We, for some reason, go two or three weeks where we can do no wrong, and then we go a month or a month and a half where it's just a battle. We got to figure it out. We have the personnel. If I have the answer, I'd think we'd change things.

It's scarier up around the eyes. The mouth, at least, you can fix it.
couple head obvious saves saw shake
It's pretty obvious why we didn't get two points. I saw some saves out there that you just shake your head at. He made a couple on me that were ridiculous.
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.
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.
goes quality
Isn't it funny? After all the quality chances, that one goes in.
