battling extra kept night plenty points
There is plenty of time. You want the two points in regulation, but we kept battling all night long. We just couldn't find a way to get that extra point earlier.
behind caught climb goals hill minutes people points
We've been like umpteen points behind (in the standings) and caught people so two goals down in the first 10 minutes is not that big a hill to climb for us.
caught focus forget games played points
We've played all these (recent) games as if they're must-win games. That being said, you can't get too caught up with the focus being two points that you forget about the process.
bad game halfway happens points seem team turning
We've had now for us kind of turning points where we could have put the other team down two halfway through the game and we just missed. At some point something bad happens and we don't really seem to respond.
dominant game last player points puck side spread time top
He was on top of his game in all five. Last season, if you look, he had a lot of points but he had them in 3-4 games. This time it's been spread out and he's been a dominant player just about every shift. He's on the right side of the puck all the time.
bounce handed happens points puck stick stuff
We handed two points away. That's a shame. We had the puck on our stick and didn't get the puck out of our zone. When stuff like that happens at this point of the season, it's inexcusable. But we'll bounce back.
behind given hard points teams time various
We've got teams we have to beat, those teams that are behind us. They've all given us a hard time at various points this year.
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.
couple handed plays points soft
A couple of soft plays and we handed these two points away, just not one but two. And it's a shame.
both certainly deserved happy overtime played points
It was kind of old-time hockey. I'm not happy that we had to go to overtime to win, but we certainly deserved both points with the way we played physically.
finish goal home ice league left playing points possible seeds
And it's not about playing Nashville. You never know what's going to take place in other series. The way the league is now, the 5-6-7-8 seeds could win, and then you're left with home ice. Our goal is to finish with as many points as possible because home ice does matter, especially at the Tank.
ice players step work
The players have to step up on the ice and play. They have to work as a group.
gives road tough
This road trip, I think, gives us a lot of confidence. They were all tough games.
job lack people point respect step sure teammates trust trying
There comes a point where we have to have some people step up and play as well as they can and make sure that their teammates aren't trying to do too much. And you have to respect people around you. That's a lack of trust if you don't think other people can do the job that you try to do too much.
