basically game goal help obviously per power shut totally
The power play has basically been totally shut down and that's obviously something we need to help us out. The way the game is called today, you need at least one power-play goal per game. We were getting two per game for awhile, but we're not now.
bad games good
We've been pretty good. We've had some good games and some bad games, but we've started to play well and see each other out there.
certainly dominate game guys huge misses thrill
That was a huge thrill for me. The game misses guys like that. He certainly could dominate out there.
against definitely exactly game good happy hard opposite points score
We're definitely very happy to get that many points against that good of a team. It's hard to explain. Sometimes your expectations of what kind of game it is and what kind of score it will be are exactly opposite of what happens.
bounce forget game hopefully huge nice quickly ready
That's a huge game and we've got to be able to show we can bounce back. It's nice that we've got a back-to-back situation, so hopefully we'll be able to forget about this one quickly and get ready for (tonight).
game grew number special spent
It's always a special game to play in the place that you grew up. I spent a number of years here and I don't know any other home.
game great nice pick playing
This place is great to play in. That's why home-ice is so important. It's nice to be playing this way, but we need to pick our game up a lot in the playoffs. It's a whole new season.
bad decisions lose
When you have two five-on-threes like that, it's just unacceptable not to score. We just didn't make the right plays. We were making bad decisions and that's the way you lose games.
difference dressing guys people room wherever
To me, that's irrelevant. What difference does it make to the guys in the dressing room if people in wherever know who they are?
good playing remember
I don't remember ever going 6-0. We've got a very good team, but we still have a lot to do. We are playing very well right now.
moved power puck
We moved the puck well and our power play was good. The more we play together, the better off we're going to be.
moved played power puck score step
I thought we moved the puck around pretty well. I thought we played well five-on-five, but when you don't score that way, that's when the power play has to step up.
front great hockey improve moved puck traffic
I thought we moved the puck around pretty well and we got some traffic in front of their net. But this is a long series, and they've got a great hockey club. We've got to improve our effort.
adjust guys penalties year
Penalties killed us all year even after being addressed. Guys need to adjust to calls.
