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.
confident days definitely few four last season
It's definitely the last thing I wanted to have now, four days before the season starts, ... It's nothing major. ... I'm pretty confident it'll only be a few days.
few games gary last playing
I've been playing with Gary the last 20 games and things have been clicking. Gratton has been there a few games and it's been working really well.
finding game last lately points win
We'd like to have those two points now, but we won't look back. We've been finding a way to win lately and we've got another must-win game tonight. It's been the same story for the last two weeks.

I don't think we played the same way we did last week.

definitely four guys maybe power three
We've still got Krajicek and Bouwmeester as well. You definitely need four guys on the power play, maybe even three units during the year.
matter power scores second
It doesn't matter who scores the goals. As long as we win, that's the key. If you play power play and you're on the first or second line, you're going to get your points.
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.
capable early few good level looked obviously past played single team weeks
Our lineup looked pretty good early in the year, but obviously we haven't played at the level we're capable of doing. The past few weeks we've been the team we should have been every single night.
