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.
building confidence felt good great hard might starts time weeks year
We haven't had too many weeks where we felt good and confident. It's been up and down and up and down and up and down all year. This is the time of year where confidence starts building and that's what we want to do. We're still not there yet. It might look great and it is better, but it's a lot of hard work.
best foot ourselves period played series shot start worry
We shot ourselves in the foot to start out. They played their best period of the series in the first. I just think we have to worry about ourselves. We have to come out a lot better.
found past quick start ways
In the past we've found ways to win. And we have to start doing that real quick here.
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.
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.
hard proven start win
The hard part for us was getting in. We feel now we can start over here and try to do something. We have proven we can win in the playoffs.
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.
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.
