against chances finish good great hard hockey looking scoring trouble
We had a lot of good scoring chances in the first half. Then they went up 5-2 and it's pretty hard to come back against that team. I was looking for a great finish to the hockey game, but we got into trouble and they capitalized.
gas hard nights played ran third
I think they ran out of gas in the third period. They played back-to-back nights and we played really hard in the third period. We were really disappointed with our first two periods.
both competing great guys habits handled hard playoffs practice quit reason six starts sure weight wish won work
I?m sure both of those guys wish they were going to the playoffs and I?m sure they?re disappointed. But I think it?s great for our guys to see how they have handled this. There?s no quit in them. They still are working hard and competing hard, and I think that?s a big reason why we won those six in a row. It starts in practice and in the weight room, and their work habits there are obvious.
game games hard playoffs possible shoot win
(The playoffs are) not going to be something we?re going to shoot for. But we?re going to come out and try and play hard every game and win as many games as possible and get things going in the right direction.
best character coming hard hockey minutes played
We showed a lot of character coming back. We really competed hard and probably played the best 40 minutes of hockey this season.
bodies few front guys hard net puck traffic worked
He (Malhotra) put the puck on the net and we had traffic in front of the net. It was one of the few times that we had bodies in front of the net tonight. The guys worked hard for it.
adam compete definitely guy hard knew players push team
This is definitely a big step. I knew our team was going to get better this year, with or without Adam Foote. Now, with the free-agent market, we get a guy like Adam. He will push our players to be better and they're going to compete hard every night.
difference hard period plays power second took
The first period we competed hard and battled hard and had some power plays and just couldn't capitalize. In the second they had some power plays and they took advantage. That was the difference in the game. After the first period they just took it to us.
five great minutes period playing score second takes third three
We weren't playing great in the second period but we were playing okay. Then they come out and score three in the first five minutes of the third period. It takes a lot out of your team.
best character coming next seven tonight wish won
We showed our character coming back. I wish we'd won tonight to make it seven games, but we got the next best thing.
best character next pushed seven winning wish won
We showed character. I wish we?d won and pushed (the winning streak) to seven games. But we got the next best thing.
bench bryan everybody gave goal goals huge scores win
It was a huge goal for us. We were down two goals at that point, and then Bryan scores and we?re right back in it. I think it gave everybody on the bench a lift, like, we could win this game.
difference energy last night seem
Big difference from last night to tonight. We didn't seem to have the energy that we did last night.
good moving player playing
Rupp is a good player when he?s moving his feet. Lately, he has been playing very well.
