game good next ourselves outright rest win
If we go out and win outright the rest of the way through, we put ourselves in a good position. But we have one game, and that's Thursday. Then after that we have one game, and it's Saturday. Right now, each game is more important than the next and that's the way it's going to be right through the playoffs.
great hockey sign
I'd like to think we're better than any one player. I think that's the sign of a great hockey club.
few gifted good nice plays scoring
I don't know what went wrong. They were very opportunistic in the first period. Good scoring chances. A few nice plays from gifted players.
focused leaving seven
My first thought? You can't write it. I'm focused on seven games. I'm focused on leaving this one behind.
felt good
I felt like I was in a zone, but you never feel good when you give up one more.
front game home job owe people watching
We've got a big job in front of us right now. We owe it to all the people that were watching this game back home to come home strong.
breaking calm clutch cracking heat nor relaxed sees situations team
You have to be very calm, especially in the most clutch situations in a game. If the other team sees that a goalie is calm and relaxed in the heat of battle, that's a pretty intimidating thing. They know they are not breaking nor cracking him.
instead learn net worrying
We just have to learn to play from the net out defensively instead of worrying so much about offense.
hour ourselves pushing
We've been pushing ourselves to the 11th hour all season, and now is no different.
against game played time
We've played pretty well against them this year. At this time of the year, every game can go one way or the other.
spark trying
It was nothing he did. I was just trying to spark the team.
happened looked october torn
It was October when it happened to me. I was misdiagnosed by the MRI and at the end of the season, (someone else) looked at the same MRI and told me I had a torn labrum.
ahead frustrated full hands player talk work
It's just talk between me and a player that's all. I'm not frustrated with anything. We just have our hands full and we have a lot of work ahead of us, and that's about it.
effort team
It's a team effort and it's always going to be like that.
