casual pay
We were casual and they made us pay for it.
adversity face stuff
We responded to adversity and that's important because we're going to face this kind of stuff when we're on the road.
five game potent power score six stay
We've got, I think, a very potent power play. All indications are it (the calls) should stay the same -- and we'll get five or six opportunities a game and we're going to have to score at least one.
bit discipline expect hard kept lost period power teams third whenever
Whenever we play L.A., we look at their stats and they're one of the most penalized teams in the league. They play hard all the time, right on the edge. So you've got to expect to get power plays. We lost a little bit of our discipline in the third period and had to kill some too, but in the first two periods, we kept on task.
carried everybody finish focused game goal good hardest high job moment next run table
We're in pretty good shape. We want to finish as high as we can. Our goal is to run the table here. The hardest game is always the next one that you play. My job is to keep everybody focused and in the moment and not get too carried away with ourselves.
both guard maybe wire
We actually got right down to the wire on both kills. I think maybe we let our guard down a little bit.
certainly focus helped obviously puck side wrong
It certainly helped us to get back the focus we needed. We were set up on the wrong side of the ice, and we obviously want to get the puck in Joe's hands.
close fired guys roll schedule storm worn
We're not even close to worn out. If we were worn out, the schedule would have killed us, and it didn't. We're a young team, and these guys are excited. They're all fired up. When you get on a roll like this, you storm into the playoffs.
absolutely game guys home needed plane points ready sitting
We had some guys were probably already sitting on the plane ready to go home and that's not what we needed in a game like this. Now we've got to find a way to get back points we absolutely need.
both games loved team won
We're a team that's pretty resilient. We showed that this year, and now, I mean, I would've loved to have won both games in Nashville. We've got to try and get a split.
great remember shots
You look up and see 40 shots against, but I don't remember too many great chances.
defense great job remember shots
You look up and see 40 shots against, but I don't really remember too many of them being grade-A chances. The shots were from the outside, the defense did a great job and our forwards competed like heck.
advantage casual deserve hard mistake rest second silly took worked
We were just way too casual the whole second period. We never worked hard enough to deserve anything the rest of the period. And they took advantage of every silly little mistake we made. We got what we deserved.
continue equally hard played prepare shot win
We didn't come here to win just one round. That's not why we played so hard down the stretch. We want to continue to improve. We want a shot at the Cup, simple. We've got to wait, see who we play, prepare and go at them equally as hard.
