act balancing division gas healthy hockey left playing proper rested tendency title winning work
Winning the division title is a significant milestone, and there is a tendency to let off the gas pedal. There isn't really anything left to play for in the standings, so it's a balancing act between getting healthy and rested and still be playing proper hockey when it comes to work habits.

We had our chances, they just didn't go in. It was a game between two competitive teams in a heck of a hockey series. We would have loved to have found a way to end it tonight, but we'll just have to forget it and be ready to play our next game.

It's human nature to sit a little bit on a lead, but the game was very evenly played throughout. They had chances, we had chances and it was just a good hockey game and they pulled it out in a shootout.

biggest early fairly fear games good harder health hoping knew lost team typical wins
I was hoping to get wins early because I knew it would get harder later. Then we lost the first two. I think the team did a pretty good job. Our biggest fear was the health of our team, and we got banged up. That's fairly typical when you play that many games in that many days.
