advantage challenge fired game good knew maintain movement pace playoffs puck several short skated sure took
We wanted to go on the playoffs on a roll. This was a big game for them (Carolina). We knew they'd be fired up. Our challenge was to keep the shifts short and make sure we could maintain a good pace in the game. Our puck movement was excellent, we skated real well and took advantage of several turnovers.

We came out and played well, skated well, we generated a lot of opportunities, we just didn't finish. We let them hang around. We took a careless penalty late that allowed them the opportunity to tie the game up.
extra happen second took
We made a lot of things happen real slow. We always took the extra second to shoot.
apology call distinct five guy judge kicked kicking lasted league reviews seconds sure took type understand video
It's a distinct kicking motion. It was kicked in, and I'm sure we'll get an apology from the league on it. We've had reviews that lasted five minutes. That took two seconds and the guy kicked it in? Come on, I don't understand how a video judge here can make that type of call when it's that distinct.

The more they acted like idiots, the more we wanted to play. But we took advantage of some early plays, and they were great plays, but nothing to go down that road.

He said it actually caught him where they reduced the size of the blocker, where they took some of the padding away. It's just unfortunate.

He drove on Hecht, took out his knee, went after his head. It's a joke, an absolute joke. Watch the video and you'll see it.

We took the penalties that allowed them to have the five-on-three.
advantage break chances game gave good situations sure taken took
We took advantage of every break we got. We took advantage of our odd-numbered situations that we haven't previously taken advantage of in Game 3 and Game 4. The good chances they gave us, we made sure we finished. We made sure that we got them down when we had the opportunity.

We took advantage of every break we got.

Suspend him. Get him out of the game. He went after his head. He took his knee out. I've seen enough of him. It's a joke.
behind board composure gonna message morning officials pride stay taken took using wiped worry
The message this morning was we took a lot of pride in being a very disciplined club, and I thought we were undisciplined. I thought it started with myself behind the bench. We have to get the composure back, stay away from the officials and not worry about the call. We're going to get some, we're not gonna get some. We've taken a lot of pride in that, and I think we started using that as an excuse. We wiped that off the board again.
decide explain five gotta guy judge kicked reviews took video
I don't know how their video judge can decide that in one second. Somebody's gotta explain that to me. We've had reviews where it's been five minutes. That took two seconds, and the guy kicked it in. Come on.
win
We just play to win games. If that's Marty, then it'll be Marty. If it's Ryan, then it'll be Ryan.
