anybody compete confident fine
We're fine with our team. We're very confident we can compete with anybody any night. I think we're a better team, we're more experienced.
control figure game power until work
We've got to come to work and try to figure out how to take control of a game with our power play. Until we do that it's going to be a dogfight every night.
everybody gets physical
To see him go out there and be physical like that, being a little guy, that gets everybody up.
chance hurt plays power
We had a chance to go up 2-0 or even 3-0 with some power plays and we couldn't do it -- that really hurt us.
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.
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.
game huge
Every game is huge right now. We're going to get out of this.
full hockey late minutes played playing start
We've been playing better hockey of late at home. It's been a lot better than it was at the start of the year. We've been more consistent. We still haven't played a lot of full 60 minutes yet, but we're going to keep working on that.
longer took
When you are in, you are in, it doesn't matter. It took a little while longer than expected, but we are in.
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.
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.
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.
sharp
I can just tell, personally, that we're just not as sharp as we were in the past,
explain fragile wish
We're just fragile right now. Wish I could explain why.
