We have to rally together. We can't feel sorry for ourselves because of the situation we're in. There's no finger pointing. It's all of us together.

Obviously, with the amount of ice time I was getting, the situation with our team, it wasn't a shocker. I've been around long enough to realize the situation I was in.
believing change finding good needed streak three weeks
We just needed to find a way to win. Our (confidence) was a little shaky. Three weeks ago we were on a pretty good streak and things just don't change overnight. ... It comes down to believing in each other and finding a way to win.
chance games gives quality shots team win
We got some shots on goal, not a lot of quality chances. It's one of those games where the team hangs in there. Their goaltender gives them a chance to win the game.
advantage chances hang
It was weird, very weird. There was just no flow. We didn't play that bad, but we didn't take advantage of our chances either. We let them hang around and hang around and we end up with this.

It was a little shaky. We talked about it. Hopefully that's behind us now.

They always say they're going to cut back my ice time. Well, I don't want them to do that. I want to force them to play me.

I still want to be a player and I still felt that I was a player. Obviously as a competitive pro, it's tough to give that up right away. You still have that edge that you want to play.

Certainly, if they are going to be calling the games the way they have been, then our power play is going to have to work.

Obviously, you dream about this day. You don't know how you are going to feel. I feel excitement more than anything else, I feel excitement for what has happened to our club.
high mirror playing rules systems
I feel like I can contribute. I'm not playing the way that I want to. With the new rules and with the new systems we have, I'm not playing as much. I'm not playing up to my standards, that's first and foremost. I'm the one who has to look at myself in the mirror every day and I have high expectations for myself.
cut days row seven
It's been seven days in a row now that he's been on me about it, so I'll probably have to get it cut pretty soon.
discussed dust good obviously settles talk
We discussed that already. We're obviously going to go out on good terms. I want to be a part of the organization in some capacity. Hopefully, when the dust settles here we can talk about those things.
