ask couple face fact might
We have to face the fact that we might be back here in a couple of weeks. This was all we could ask for.
clicking power
We had some bounces going our way tonight. Of late, things have been clicking more on the power play.
against drive hard huge last middle net played success sure time
We had huge success against them the last time we played up there, because we made sure we didn't give up a whole lot through the middle and made them play on the outside. That made it hard for them to drive the net and be around the net.
games great job keeping shots won
We had a lot of shots but we didn't have a lot of great chances. They did a great job of keeping us to the outside. They've won a lot of games and here they are.
bit shock taken
We're all taken aback and a little bit in shock because it was done. It was over.
bit shock
I'm speechless, we're all in a little bit of shock right now.
taken weird
I'm speechless. I don't know, it's weird right now. I think we were all taken aback.
dirty goals guilty instead maybe rebound score trying ugly
If we're guilty of anything, it's not getting all our pucks on goal. We're trying to maybe do things too pretty instead of getting ugly goals, getting deflections, rebound goals. Not tic-tac-toe goals around the net. That's not where we're going to be successful. We've got to try and score more dirty goals.
change games hopefully reason six tide
I don't know what the reason is. We want to keep it going through six games and hopefully change the tide in the seventh.
biggest boost center course definitely emotional games gave hear huge missed offense people
Of course it's a blow. He gave us a big emotional boost Saturday. He's a huge part of our offense and this was one of the biggest games of the year. It's not the kind of thing you want to hear after warm-up that your No. 1 center is not going to play. That being said, that's nothing new this season. We're used to different people being out. He's definitely missed when he's not there.
coming dwell games huge move tomorrow
We need to move on to tomorrow and not dwell on this. We have two huge games coming up.
angles eight expect force power question shutting terrible
It's not a question of shutting him down, because you know he's going to get his shots. You just want to force him into terrible angles to give your goalie a chance. You can't put Jagr out there eight times on the power play and expect to kill it off every time.
chance determine game happens number wait
It's frustrating that we had a chance to determine where we end up and now we have to wait to see what happens with other teams. We wanted to have a game like we did (Saturday), but it's tough. They have our number right now.
annoying coaches everybody extremely figure playoffs trying watches wonder wonders work
It's annoying as a group. Extremely annoying. The coaches wonder why, we wonder why, and everybody who watches us wonders why. That is what we have been trying to figure out all season. It's more of the same. You can say, 'when the playoffs get here, it's going to be different.' But it doesn't work like that. We have to get it going in here now.
