It just popped right out, and I was able to get the shot on net. It found a way in. We had some boys in front making it hard for him to see the puck.
It just goes to show, even when you have the effort it's hard to win in this league.
We knew we were getting chances. We knew if we could stick with it and get shots, we would be OK.
We want to play them in their end and always have the puck and start making plays in their zone. When we're successful, we get results like this.
In the third, we didn't come out and play to get the win.
We've been saying it all year, we need everyone coming to play. If we do that, we should get good results. Guys are working hard and stuff, but it's little mistakes that in years past there'd be somebody else back to cover things up and we're not doing that either.
We took some bad penalties, penalties at the wrong time, anyway.
I think our team can do a better job staying out of the box, but our power play came up huge.
We have to learn from it, but we can't dwell on it. We have to go get two points in Calgary.
We had our chances on the power play, and we definitely could have used a big goal. We tried a lot of shots. Maybe we should have worked it around a little more. When we do that, though, we say we need to shoot more.
I think everyone in here still believes we can do it, but we've been saying for how many months now that we can't let games slip away? Sooner or later, if we keep letting them slip away, we're not going to be able to say we can still get into (the playoffs).
I can't believe it went right into the net. I went to make a move and all of a sudden I hit it straight in. There were a couple of hits on my stick, but it shouldn't matter.
I can't believe it went right in the net. I don't know what to say. I thought I was going to pick it up and go behind the net. I went to make a move, and all of a sudden I hit it straight in.
Games in hand are a good thing only if you win them.
