almost box closer hardly shots work
We had hardly any shots in the big box area. Almost all our shots were from the perimeter, and we didn't work hard enough to get in there closer to the net.
forward looked
I've looked forward to this my whole life. This is what it's all about.
build felt kept pressure
Down one goal, we felt like we had a chance. We kept the pressure on. That's a little something to build on.
cut game hockey playing playoff
We say every game that we have to cut back on penalties, but we'll be out if we do it again. Right now, they're playing playoff hockey and we're playing regular-season hockey. It's not enough.
playing playoffs
That was really important for us. We really wanted it ... It's so important for us to go into the playoffs playing like this.
basically
I was basically in the room, and they told me to get out there. It's tough, but I have to be ready.
extra hopefully match net patient shoot
You just kind of have to be patient and hopefully kind of outwait the shooter, ... You try to match their speed. If you give them extra net to shoot at, they're going to score.
battle corners front tough
We've got to play tough hockey. We've got to get in the corners and battle and we've got to get in front of their net.
picked since
Since then, we just picked it up, and hopefully, we just don't look back.
bad felt goal guys hit stick third until
I felt all right until that third goal went through two guys and hit my stick and went in. That was the only bad goal. I've got to get those.
games guys next
We want to get the next one. We can't let these guys get two games up on us.
played
We wanted this one going home. We played them well.
cheesy counting maybe people rather received retire shoot
It was a cheesy goal. Someone else should have received it. I don't even like counting one like that as a goal. I'd much rather shoot one and saucer it down and in. Maybe when I retire I can tell people that's how it happened.
That made me feel awesome. I really appreciated that.
