Those are the type of wins that really make you feel good about yourself. We went out there and we earned it.
I don't understand how they called that many power plays against us. I don't understand how we're that bad. I guess the Detroit Red Wings get those calls in their building.
We've got to find ways to win rather than finding ways to lose.
We had three two-on-ones against us today and it resulted in three goals. You don't play loose and you don't give up those types of quality scoring chances and expect to win and I think we were fortunate to get a point.
It's like, I guess, the Detroit Red Wings get those calls in their building.
It wasn't pretty, but we'll take the outcome. We put ourselves in position to win it.
These points are up for grabs and any team in our position has to win our share of games. If you don't you are not going to make the playoffs.
I don't think you can really expect to win a hockey game giving up three power-play goals. In reality, you cant give up those and that's the difference in the hockey game.
Is it the end of the world? No, they're up 2-1 in the series. The bottom line is we have to prepare ourselves for more of a team effort than we got from our group.
The result is the biggest negative. Our effort was good, we had chances, but we just didn't bury the puck.
Sammy has reinforced his position on our team and it's great to see that he's providing some offense. Does he want to be a five-goal scorer? Or a 10-goal scorer? Or a 15- to 20-goal scorer? He's proving he wants to be the latter.
Our expectations are that we're going to try to play an uptempo game, and our players seem to have responded positively to that.
Our execution level was nowhere near where it needed to be,
We are going to have to be first on the puck in a lot of different situations, and this group has not backed away from doing that all year.
