I was very happy the way we turned it up in the third. We elevated our game and made it hard for them to do anything.

Hopefully we all got the message and learned that we can't afford not to be ready to play. We've got some special things we're going to work on to drive that point home.

both chris elite entire fun ice level player playing second
He is getting back to the level of a really elite player in this league. He and Chris Durand have both been playing very well for us. If we can get our entire lineup on the ice and get things going in the right direction, it's going to be a fun second half.

He is a guy you can count on in all areas, offensively and defensively. He is strong on face-offs, on top of being a very good penalty killer. He is our captain here and he is a big leader for us in all areas.

He finishes very well. He's a goal scorer and he certainly did that. That's a great shot by a great player.

There is no point making it any bigger than it needs to be. We just need to win our next game, then we'll worry about a Game 7.
exactly games happened shots throw win
We know exactly what happened and what we need to do. If you throw enough shots at the net, one will go in. You don't win many games with only 18 shots on net.
against chances create decisions early far machine net plays power quick recognize results shots starting
We're far from a well-oiled machine on the power play, but we're starting to recognize plays and make quick decisions to create better shots on net through traffic. With the chances we had early against Spokane on the power play and the results we had late, we can gain some confidence.
bear block chances determined goals turn
We're getting chances, we just have to be more determined to bear down and turn those chances into goals. They can't block them all. We just have to find a way.

To go out and lay an egg like that is tough to take.

We came out and played with a purpose. We played hard and smart for the most part. We know Everett is a good team and they deserve our best. We were pretty hungry all night.
anytime came chip close couple period second strong third
We came on strong in the third period. But once you get to overtime, anything can happen. They were able to chip away and get a couple in the second period and got the momentum. Anytime you have a 3-0 lead, you should be able to close out the game. No excuses.
