bigger game needs next point win worry
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.
certainly chemistry forward groups might point scared written
We haven't had much chemistry in our forward groups this year. Certainly at this point nothing is written in stone. Once we get rolling, if we think something else might fit, we won't be scared to make any changes.
couple hard matter nice playing points
It wasn't just a matter of them having a couple of points in those high-scoring games. When they play hard and play well, it's nice to see them get rewarded, but they were playing well before then.
afford drive hopefully learned message point ready special work
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.
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.
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.
elevated game happy hard turned
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.
both early edge good great key pay played player start took
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.
left push score time
That was a real big save. If they score there, they still have time left to push for another one.
pleased ready start tonight
I was pleased with the start tonight and we will be ready tomorrow.
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.
came deserve good hard hungry played purpose smart team
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.
