We need points right now, and we can't keep throwing them away.
high jam pad trying
I was just trying to jam it in and he put his pad there and then I couldn't get it high enough.
dream final five million watch
It is a dream final for us. There are five million at home, and everyone will watch this game.
last played
I don't think we played the same way we did last week.
good
If it was my call, there wouldn't be shootouts. It has more to do with pee-wee hockey; it's good for kids.

fighting huge last point three weeks win
We're fighting for our lives. The last two or three weeks we've been able to win some games. Every point is huge for us.
