The Senators are a team we are looking up at in the standings. They beat a lot of teams in our division. Any points we get against them is a plus.
Right now, we don't look at the division. We're looking more at our conference, where we stand. Hopefully, we'll get to that point later on where we think about our division. But, if you look, our record in our division is not that good. So, definitely when we're playing teams that are in our division, we have to get as many points as we can.
Losing a game like tonight is a killer. These are four-point games. We have six games left against these guys. Who knows, those points might determine a playoff spot.
You can't be happy about losing a game. You have to look at the bright side. We competed well against a team that we can afford to give two points to and we took one away from them.
We don't always do it. When we make a big point of doing it, the success always comes.
It's a rivalry and they're playing hard. We're not happy they're not doing well against the rest of the league. They're taking points away from us.
It's amazing. Just take the new year. We were able to get 18 points in 21 days. That's unbelievable. I'm just really excited about it, just to get back in the thick of things and put some teams behind us. We've just got to try to push that envelope forward.
In two days we gained four points on teams. It's a great feeling. All year we didn't come back too much when pulling the goalie. This was nice.
The last two days to get four points is a great feeling. All year we haven't been able to come back much with a pulled goalie so its nice to make it happen.
We are trying to get better every game. We took a step by winning an important game against a big rival.
The rules are there and there is a lot more flow to the game. If we are able to play this way and not take a lot of penalties, you'll see this more and more from our team. It's not just me. All the guys are excited that we are able to shut down good teams.
I've played enough in the NHL to know most of these guys. Most of the time I know their tendencies. I've been lucky. I've been fortunate to make some saves and help us win some games.
It was tough to get going right away and I think you saw that. It (the Italian goal) was good for the fans and they got excited. But we knew it was just a matter of time before we would score.
These were big games for us. It's nice to see us dominate them.
