anybody dumped front good great pass puck saw stick sudden threw
I saw 'Fro.' The puck got dumped in, so I just said, 'Oh, I'm just going to go to the front of the net,' and all of a sudden he had it. I don't know if there was anybody around me or not.

I think we played nervous at the beginning and we were tense. We know they're a team that's struggling, but that's a dangerous kind of team.

deep hard inside scoring start winning
It's tough. We feel like we're working hard and winning battles, but we aren't able to find the back of the net. We have to find something deep inside and start scoring goals.
bad building good huge roll starting stretch teams top trying turn ways
It was huge for this team. We had a bad stretch and now we're trying to turn this thing around. We just had to find ways to win. We're down two (goals) to one of the top teams in their building and we battled back. We're starting to roll again. It's a good feeling.
capitalize
Not being able to capitalize is our problem.
five four rushes second trying
That second period, in probably a three-minute span, there were four or five odd-man rushes and they capitalized. We really let them take it to us in the second period. We're trying to get the system.
