energy generating struggle third
We just didn't have the energy to get anything going. It was a struggle all night. We weren't generating any shots, especially in the third period.
early energy four game hoping job level needed obvious sink third
We just didn't have the energy level we needed to do the job and it was pretty obvious early on. The only thing I was hoping for was their energy level would sink because it was their third game in four nights, too.
dig energy simple urgency
We're just going to have to dig down and find the energy and play with a sense of urgency that we need. It's as simple as that.
energy foot gas saw sure
We just have to make sure we don't take our foot off the gas here. We've got a lot of momentum. You saw that energy in the first two periods, we were all over them and that's the way we're going to have to play in the playoffs.
energy looked maintained ours third
It looked like we did not have much energy tonight. (Phoenix) maintained their energy while ours pretty much was sapped by the third period.
energy halfway lost needed period
About halfway through the game, we lost our energy. We were all over them in the first period and we just didn't have the energy to do what we needed to do to keep them in trouble.
energy game halfway looked maintained ours wore
We looked like we didn't have much energy tonight. As the game wore on, they maintained their energy, and ours had been sapped about halfway through the game.
energy
Fortunately for us, with their having back-to-back games, I don't know if they really had the energy to take advantage.
advantage chance draw energy good penalties period power pushed talked third
In the third period of back-to-back games, I don't know if they really had the energy to take advantage of the power play. We talked about if we pushed the pace, there's a good chance we'll draw penalties tonight.
happens point puck season stick
We had the puck on our stick and didn't get it out of the zone. And when something like that happens at this point of the season it's inexcusable.
hung job
We hung in there and got the job done.
expected flat period second signal
We expected that in the first period and I thought we responded. I just didn't think that would signal the flat second period we had. We were awful.
focus handling mistakes people puck
We don't want him handling the puck as much as he does, and yet he does and he makes mistakes like he did. His focus has got to be on the puck and not what other people are doing.
aware chart stand team
We're very aware, we've got a chart up. I try to make everyone on the team aware of where we stand and what we have to do to make the playoffs.
