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.
against canada game hard harder pretend
They all play hard and they play harder against Canada. We're not going to take that game off and pretend it's a practice.
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.
game huge
Every game is huge right now. We're going to get out of this.
bit couple games gone lull played slowly ways
We've done this before where we've played a couple (good) games and gone into a lull again. (But) I think we're slowly getting a little bit more arrogance, a little more confidence. We still have a long ways to go ... but it's something we haven't had in a long time.
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.
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.
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.
atmosphere bit confidence four game games goals great huge next pull score scoring three
When you score two goals one game and one goal the next and you get four points, that's great because we weren't getting (points) when we were scoring three and four. It's huge and this is going to get everybody's confidence going. We need to pull out games like this and then atmosphere is a little bit better in the workplace, you know?
deserve game kept sit won
We didn't deserve better. You can't sit there and say that we should have won this game. We were waiting. We started the game pretty good, but as the game went on, we just kept waiting. I don't know why.
best either game picking plan played team
We plan on picking it a notch. We have to. I don't think either team has played its best game yet.
competition game
This is the competition we're used to playing, and this is the game we're used to playing.
couple games stolen
He's stolen a couple games for us already.
deal facing game sounds sure team wide
I know this sounds like a cliche, but we've got to keep it simple. We've got to play an up-and-down game and make sure that we're going north/south. I know that the team we're facing is going to try to go wide on us, but we're just going to have to deal with that.
