Look around and a lot of guys have barely had 200 games in the NHL. They haven't been around that long. As a defenseman you don't really understand the game until you're up around 300.

We're not totally out of it. But it definitely makes it a lot harder. That's why people are disappointed. We wanted to win this game and the next one against them. That would have given us a good shot of sliding in.
bury chances everybody hockey playing playoff scoring time year
It's getting to that time of year where it's playoff hockey and everybody is playing a lot tighter now. I really don't think you're going to see a lot of chances from here on out. Any time you get a scoring chance you've got to bury it.

We just got too far behind and now we're paying for it. We know it's tough this time of year. We're just going to keep on working and hopefully these games against Tampa will be key.
