We gave them every opportunity with the penalties we took. We can't do that.

That's a good hockey team. They work hard and probably are as physical as anybody we play.
battling confidence game nervous playing poise sign
We're battling now. Before we were getting a little nervous as the game went on when it was tight. Now we're playing with a lot more poise with the puck. It's a sign our confidence is getting better.

feels
It feels pretty good. It's (good) enough to play.
