apart falling fell finger four gave goals start third wish
Things fell apart and snowballed. I wish I could put my finger on it, but it's a combination of things falling apart. We gave up four goals in the third period, we can't start doing that.
couple five fought hang harder heads last minutes
Things didn't go our way but we didn't hang our heads and we fought harder than we did the last couple of games. But it's frustrating, especially when you're up 2-1 with five minutes to go in the game.
battle games nine took wondering
I'm wondering why it took us so long to get started, especially in the battle we're in. It's inexcusable. We've got to get better, because there's only nine games left.
good rested talked team
We talked about getting off to a good start. For once we were the team that was a little more rested than they were.
boost deep puck turning
Even for us to get the first goal, they were getting the puck deep and not turning it over. They were just doing the little things right and sometimes that can really boost the momentum.
happens road sit tendency tonight
We had a tendency on the road to sit back and see what happens but tonight we did the little things right.
dictate far good penalties special teams ton whoever
There have been a ton of penalties called, so special teams is going to dictate a lot of games. Whoever has good special teams can go far in the playoffs, and I think we have good special teams play when we want to.
good penalty special teams
Special teams was good tonight, especially the penalty kill.
special teams thrive
Special teams let us down. You have to thrive on special teams and we didn't do it.
allowing control draw helped holding key offense players series special
So far, the series has been special teams. If you control the puck, you're on offense more than defense. The key is not allowing them to control it as much as they would like. In 5-on-5, when our key players are holding it, it's helped us draw penalties.
forward people playoffs projected weeks
So many people projected us not even to make the playoffs 2 1/2 weeks ago. We have big things to look forward to right now.
amazing bigger couple fifth finish forward high past people playoffs projected run weeks
It's been pretty amazing the run we've been on the past couple of months. To finish as high as fifth when so people projected us to not even make the playoffs just 2 1/2 weeks ago. It's something special. But we have bigger things to look forward to now.
points
It's two big points we just let slip.
chances gave good score team wrong
They're a really good team and if you give them chances to score they're going to score eventually. We just gave them too many chances at the wrong time.
