game goal goals last loss minute mistakes played team third toughest turning
That's the toughest loss I've ever had. I'm kind of dumbfounded considering they're the team that played last night. You get a goal a minute into the third and they're doing it their way and they're losing. It's not everybody, but when we play our game plan, we're successful. We're making mistakes on little things that are turning around for goals for them.
bigger game hand
We haven't accomplished anything yet. (Today's) an even bigger game because it's a game in hand we have with Austin. We have to go out with the same intensity, the same mindset.
basically building game home
You basically look at we have a Game 7 in our home building (tonight).
days emotional game guys hard home needed realize settle shift takes
It was a pretty emotional two days around here. It was the first (playoff) game at home here for some of the guys. We needed a game like that that was hard fought. Now guys can settle in here and see what it takes to win, and realize you have to go here. Every shift of every game is huge.
easy game last shut
It wasn't an easy year. Nothing was easy for this team. You look back from the All-Star Game to the last game of the year, and they could have shut (it) down, but they didn't.
games guys pulling results speaks team winning
What they've done speaks for itself. They're a team with 18 guys pulling the same way. The results are pretty evident; they're winning a lot more games than they're losing.
bigger games guys played sharp specialty teams won
These two games were probably a lot bigger than even the guys realize. These were pretty big games. I don't think we played as well as we can play, but we did what we had to do to win. I thought our goaltending was very sharp when it had to be, and our specialty teams won (Saturday's) game for us.
next nine
These next nine or 10 days, we're going to find out what we're made of.
both impressed kids
The way I look at it right now is, these two kids get to compete. Both of these goalies can play in the league. I've been impressed with both of them.
few score step third
Evan was very sharp. Come the third period, we were able to step up and score a few goals.
created dug eight minutes nine period played stand time
Say what you want about (goals) three, four, five, six, seven, eight and nine, but the first two killed us. Once again, you look up and it's 14 minutes to go in the first period and we've dug a hole. Nothing went right for us and everything went right for them, but at the same time they created nine goals. They played hard. We have to stand up to that better.
bed best excited great ready rink
We've got to go to bed ready to get up and play. When we get to the rink, it's the same thing. Get there, get ready to go out and have fun. It's a great place to go play. It's the best rink in the league. We should be excited to get out there and play.
best matter playing playoff point team worst
Right now, every game's a big game. It doesn't matter who you're playing. When you're in a playoff race, it doesn't matter if you're playing the best team or the worst team. Every point counts.
bench looked net
On the bench it looked like the net moved. But you can't really see from the bench.
