effort good needed penalties power repeating took
I feel like I'm repeating myself. I think we were undisciplined, we took too many penalties and I think our power play wasn't as good as we needed it. The effort was there at times, just not at the right times.
came flat period
I don't think we've had a period like that, probably ever. We got some bounces and they came out flat and it was a combination of all of that.
game guys stuff
Guys have been around this game long enough to see that stuff happens,
beat challenge game tight
When we challenge them and play a tight game and outwork them we beat them.
gives
With those two out, it gives you a pretty different look.
mistake seems
We're fragile. It seems every mistake we make is in the net.
create finishing maybe move passes passing starting
We were maybe passing a little too much and not finishing the plays, but we're starting to move around and get the passes through and create stuff.
against came early few good gotten mirror preparing ready start time
We came out flat. We've gotten away with a few (awful starts) against lesser-skilled teams, but I think it's time for us to take a good look in the mirror now and start preparing to find a way to be ready early in games.
looked shoot shot
Yeah, I looked at the shot clock. We have to shoot way more.
confident
I'm confident we'll make it. It doesn't look like it right now but we'll find a way.
best good maybe road stuck time winning
Any time you can come back from 3-0 and 4-2, it's great. It maybe wasn't the best of games, but we stuck with it. Winning two out of three, it's a good road trip.
character instead sue trying
But if it was me, I'd be doing everything I could to get back and play and show everyone the character I have ... instead of trying to sue everyone.
definitely fun game
It's definitely a fun game to play right now,
gave lead might momentum taken
That gave them momentum for the whole game. Had we got the lead we might have taken them out of it early.
