We know we're not getting any younger. We're a team that gained quite a bit of experience here the last four years of the playoffs. We've also had early exits the last four years.

Bert's wallet is like an onion. Any time he opens it, he starts crying.
adding bunch games losing points power score win
Our power play didn't come through. It's a bunch of little things but they're adding up to big points we're losing out on. To win games you've got to score goals, and we just aren't doing that.

We did what we had to do and got the win.

I'm not going to lie, when you're a guy that is expected to put up numbers offensively and you haven't done it for a few games, it wears on you,
allowing body calling front great net position time todd wide year
That's a play we haven't been able to use much all year because the refs aren't allowing us to. They're always calling Todd for interference in front of the net during the battle. But this time he was wide open. He got great body position on their defender.
