good home road start
But we can improve. It was not a good road trip, but it's good to come home and start over with the home opener.
adjust good learn start teams
We'll learn and adjust from that game. Teams are too good around the league. You can't start like that.
chances creating feeling good last scoring six starting
These last six games, I've been feeling better and things are starting to roll. As a group, we're creating more scoring chances and it's good for everybody's confidence.
believe case certainly city nice playoffs season shot start
That's a nice change, ... You can pretty much the start the season in every city in the NHL and believe you have a shot at the playoffs and that certainly wasn't the case before.
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.
ahead desperate flat fully match period start
They were more desperate than us off the start and we didn't match it. It was that first period where we were very flat and they were good. They got out ahead of us and we didn't fully get back into it.
nice picked season start
It's a nice compliment. It's nice to have different expectations at the start of the season than being picked just out of the playoffs,
definitely few goal good quick seeing seen start teams tv watching
I've never been part of such a quick goal from the start of the period. I've seen it a few times by other teams watching on TV and stuff. Seeing it go in was definitely a good feeling.
couple excited playoff spot start thinking wanting win year
A couple years ago we were very excited just to clinch a playoff spot because we hadn't been there. But back then we also didn't go in thinking we just wanted to have fun; we wanted to win a series. This year we start just wanting to win one series.
close fans hear holding hurt imagining sitting time took
When you get that close and then you hear the other team, the other fans celebrating to 'Simply The Best' and 'We Are The Champions', that hurt. It hurt a lot. We didn't know who was holding the Cup, but each time someone else took it, you could hear the fans go nuts. We're just sitting there, soaking all of this in and imagining what it would feel like ... if it was us.
exciting thinking
What's important is to keep going but yeah, we're thinking we want to clinch. But then we want the division. Those are exciting things, for sure, and they're in our sight.
bad close front game single strength style terrible zone
We were terrible in front of (Boucher). It wasn't even close to the style of game we want to play all the way around. It was a terrible game. We were very sloppy. Our strength is in our own zone and every single one of us was bad in our own zone today.
We think we're going to be a really competitive club. But we know it's not going to be easy.
great momentum whether
We got some great power-play opportunities and fortunately we were able to put it in. Those can be big momentum shifts one way or the other whether you get one or not.
