We played good for a long stretch. We have to get back to the things we were doing. If we can do that, we can get back to winning some games again.
You always get a little extra time once you get the puck. There's a reason why Forsberg is arguably the best player in the world. He draws a lot of attention.
I believe in my heart that we have a good enough team to make the playoffs and a good enough team to beat Ottawa.
