late mistake pay tough
It's a point, but it's tough when you had two that late in the game. That's been the way it's gone. We make a mistake and pay for it dearly.

It's a tall order when you've hovered around .500 all year to suddenly start thinking about running the table. But if you can't believe you can do it, you're certainly never going to accomplish it.

against almost body guys high inhibit level man plays puck rules size skill strength takes unit
They use the new rules as well as any unit that you play against in this league. Their skill is so high and their body position, with Jagr, himself, he's a big man and when he has the puck it takes almost a man the same size and strength level to get it off because the rules inhibit the plays you used to be able to use on guys like that.
puck sure whatever
You need to do whatever you can do to make sure that puck doesn't go in the net.
