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.
chance developed good gotten great
Every chance he's gotten to play he's been great for us. He's really developed into a good goaltender.
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.
gave good job season
It's been a disappointing season for us. We gave a good effort. I don't know if we just weren't good enough to get the job done.
chances few goal good played quite team tight
It was a tight game. We played a good team and unfortunately they got that goal on the power-play. At the end we had quite a few chances to get one, but we just couldn't do it.
good key played power
Our power play was good tonight. It's such a key thing the way the game's played now.
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.
definitely fun game
It's definitely a fun game to play right now,
chemistry clicking easiest great line
It's great to see the chemistry they already have, it's not the easiest thing to get a line clicking like that.
atmosphere bitter playoff
It was a playoff atmosphere right to the bitter end.
bond changes create deep expect friendship guys time together
We all expect some changes to be made. It's sad, especially for this group. We've been together such a long time that you create a deep bond and friendship with the guys in here.
doubt initiate
We didn't initiate anything. There was no doubt they were outworking us.
finish seemed simple tonight tried trying work
We didn't have the bounces tonight and it's as simple as that. It seemed like everything they tried went in and then we're trying to work our way back and we just couldn't finish it.
desperate fresh start team
We got a fresh start here tonight. We're a desperate team and we need the wins.
