early game good opposition power seemed
We just never seemed to get going the way we wanted to. We didn't play well on many fronts, but to give the opposition a power play like that early in the game just isn't good enough.

The thing we like best about Jax is the more important the game or the situation, the better he plays. That's a good quality to have for a hockey player.

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.

Scott Jackson's an easy gut to take for granted when things are going good because he does everything well. He logs a lot of ice time and he's such a key part of any of our successes.

I think we both played hard. Dubinsky is a great player and he made us pay early and that took the edge off what was a good start for us. We played well. We just had some key breakdowns.
close confident games good playing score
Part of it is that we don't score a lot, so we had better be good in one-goal games. We're confident and comfortable playing in close games.
captain count good guy leader penalty strong top
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.
good needed played third until
I didn't think we played well, especially in the first period. I don't think we really played well until the third period. ... We were good in spurts, but there is a lot of things that needed to be better.
breathe concerned good middle mind sigh start sure
In the back of my mind I was a little concerned about a letdown because you can breathe a sigh of relief. I'm not sure if that's what happened, but we had a very good start and then didn't play well in the middle of that game.
