best close looks moving playing possession puck teams
They've always been one of the best teams at puck possession and when you're not moving your feet, it looks there like they're playing with us. That's not even close to our best.
bearing change coming game knew later match matter raise
We knew they would raise their game and we didn't match it after they started coming at us. It's a matter that later we've got to be better. I don't know if it's bearing down more or we've got to be more disciplined, but we're going to need to change and we have to do it in a hurry.
conference knew match raise teams top
We knew they'd raise their game. They're one of the top teams in the conference and we didn't match them after they started coming.
band careers change fired found goal gone knew third together tough
We knew they'd be fired up. We've all gone through something like this during our careers when there's a shakeup or a tough change and you band together and get fired up. They battled and competed and found a way to get that third goal that we didn't get.

We were a lot better offensively. It was great start. It was a big boost for us. It was nice to have a shot right back at the Avalanche after they beat us.
cash finding goals group
We got two power-play goals but it's not really about percentages. As a group it's about finding the big goal. We had chances, especially late, to get the equalizer, and we couldn't cash in.
bit couple defensive everybody game given knows last losing order room start winning
In our last couple of games, we've just been a bit sloppier than what our game is and we've given up way too many goals. We've got to get back to doing what we do and that's winning the defensive battles. In the last couple of games, we've been losing those and everybody in our room knows it. That's where well have to start in order to get better.

I love playing here. There have been some growing pains over the years, and I want to be here for the good times, and I think they're coming; I really believe in what the ownership is doing and the commitment they've made and I'm very thankful for that and also with our teammates. It's amazing who we brought in and who we have.

agents benefit core free intact missing ours piece position puts team teams
I really like the position of our team, ...

In the third, we were a lot more determined hockey club.
