good key played power
Our power play was good tonight. It's such a key thing the way the game's played now.
legs skating
It comes with skating and having that flow. Once we get our legs going, we're going to get way more chances.
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,
bottom difference finish line year
It does make a difference to finish off with a win. It's been a disappointing year for us. I don't think it was just one thing that went wrong, but the bottom line is a lot of us didn't play up to our potential.
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.
gave hard played
I think they gave us a lot of opportunities to get chances. I didn't think they played as hard as I expected.
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.

That's what happens when things are not going the way you're hoping. The coaches are trying to shake things up to get us going.
check finish guys looking shoulders takes
All it takes is for him to finish a check and guys are going to be looking over their shoulders and make mistakes.
