game pour pressure steal win
We're going in there and we're going to have to win a game. You don't even think about Game 2. You pour it all out there for Game 1. If you can steal Game 1 the pressure really switches over to them for Game 2.
games three
Easy. Everyone has to take it upon themselves. We have three games left.
game good next shift stop
We can't play good for one game or one shift and then not play well in the next one. We've been up and down a lot this year, and that has to stop now. We have to be consistent.
game means playoff rather situation talks
Now you're in a situation where every game could be your last. Everyone talks about playoff experience. I'm not going to say it means a lot, but I'd rather have it.
definitely felt game great playing second third
I said it before the game, it wasn't a must-win game, but it was definitely a big game we wanted to win. Between the second and third periods, when we were down 1-0, we felt in here that if we keep playing that we were going to win, and even when they got that second one we didn't stop. That's a great sign.
breaks game hard worked
He worked hard all game and he got his breaks off hard work.
couple determine focus games guys next
These next couple games will determine where we are. But I actually think we're on our way. You can see it, the focus is there and guys are working hard.
assuming definitely felt game hopefully peter skating start step team
Skating with the team is a step in the right direction, so in that sense it felt good. I'm assuming that Peter will be back for probably a game, and hopefully I can play a game or two in the exhibition. It's definitely important to try to get everyone going before the start of the year.
basically games guess lose took win
I guess they'd probably have to lose all their games and we'd have to win all of ours. We basically took it out of our own hands.
games later score season tougher
It's only going to get tougher and tougher to score goals. The later we go into the season and into the playoffs, the tougher the games are going to get.
game games three
Everyone has to take it upon themselves. There was a lot said before the game and between the periods, but now everyone has to take it upon themselves. We only have three games left.
beat capitalize challenge good played playing team time wait
This team has played like this for years and years. They wait and wait and capitalize on mistakes. There's no secret. They've been playing this way for a long time and they're good at it. They challenge you to beat them.
allowed found net ready spark tomorrow tonight
We found the net tonight and I think that allowed us to put some spark back into our play. We will be ready tomorrow night.
early home quick taking team thrives
You have to use home ice, especially early in the game. You want to get a quick lead. Obviously, that team thrives on taking the lead.
