harder legs might parade stupid
We did some stupid things we need to fix; it was a parade to the box. Especially back-to-back nights, we had no legs at the end. Because we're young, the refs might be harder on us.
against couple gave good lead learned lesson pieces teams
We're in a good place. A couple of times against good teams we had a third-period lead and we gave it up. We learned the lesson and put the pieces together.
early goal jump kept knew loss night team tough
We knew they were vulnerable, they had a tough loss the other night and we knew they had a new goalie. And with a team like that, you've got to jump on them early and that's what we did. We got the first goal and we just kept going from there.
definitely easy eighth maybe seventh
Maybe if we crept in in the seventh or eighth spot, we'd be celebrating. But we know we can clinch the division. We're definitely not celebrating just getting in. That's easy right now.
good
That's unacceptable, and we have to play better if we want to do any good in the playoffs. If we play like that, we're going to get our butts kicked.
couple critique disrupted happens
You don't critique a win. A couple of times we were a little disrupted in our our own end but that always happens when you're with a new partner.
help playing waiting
When we're playing that team, we have to play a patient, waiting game. We didn't give Weekes much help at all.
everybody page stay together tough
Not so much a spark. But to get everybody back on the same page that they used to be. I think everybody is on a different page. It's a long season. It's tough for everybody to stay together all season.
bit eight five four gives last nine time
Any time you get any regulars back, it kind of gives you that little bit of a boost. It's been different with four or five regulars out of the lineup the last eight or nine games.
chance definitely forward good looking plays saying situation summer wait
It's definitely going to be a good summer, something I'm looking forward to and we'll see what happens. I'm not predicting, I'm not saying I want to go there or there. I'm just going to wait for the summer and, for once, it's my chance to let the situation play out before it plays me.
air breath compared few fresh past
It's been kind of a breath of fresh air compared to the way things went the past few years.
bit couple enjoy finally huge lucky next perfect puck stepped stop win
It's huge to get a win to a) stop the three-game skid and b) to enjoy the next couple of days. The puck just kind of bounced out right in front. I was in perfect position, I think a little bit lucky to be there. I stepped into it and got lucky. It finally went in.
good held skilled team test tonight
Tonight was a good test for us. They're a great, offensively skilled team and we held them for most of the game.
finally great half paid period periods played second work
This was huge. We didn't quit. We didn't sulk. We played great in the second half of the first period, and the second period was great. In the third, the work of the first two periods finally paid off.
