confidence happy proud roll
We're on a roll here right now and we didn't want to end that. To come back from 2-0, it's huge. It's so much more confidence for the guys. We're happy and proud of ourselves.
bit couple games gone lull played slowly ways
We've done this before where we've played a couple (good) games and gone into a lull again. (But) I think we're slowly getting a little bit more arrogance, a little more confidence. We still have a long ways to go ... but it's something we haven't had in a long time.
against guard lose win
We've done this before. We have to guard against win two, lose two, win two, lose one. That's where we are at right now.
sharp
I can just tell, personally, that we're just not as sharp as we were in the past,
games grab hold sure
Those two games we have to grab a hold of it. It's not the end of the world yet. We just have to make sure we nip it right away.
against games six stop
We scored six against Philly, but we've got to stop having these games where we're 1-1. We need more desperation offensively.
full hockey late minutes played playing start
We've been playing better hockey of late at home. It's been a lot better than it was at the start of the year. We've been more consistent. We still haven't played a lot of full 60 minutes yet, but we're going to keep working on that.
bit game waiting
We (went) just a little bit back to where we were before this run. We started the game pretty good, but as the game went on, we were just waiting and hoping. We got off what (we do well). Don't know why. But that's what happens: a 2-1 loss.
game huge
Every game is huge right now. We're going to get out of this.
hearing obvious power sick together
We all know what to do. We've all been together long enough to know what to do and what makes the power play work. We're just not doing it. It's the obvious thing and I'm sick of it. We're all sick of hearing it.
along everybody gets lost needed
We just got along great. It put you as part of a team. You needed everybody you had. That sometimes gets lost today.
eighth happened team worry
We've never been the eighth seed, obviously. It's going to be different. We're not going to worry about what happened two years ago. We're just going to worry about our team now.
explain fragile wish
We're just fragile right now. Wish I could explain why.
goes quality
Isn't it funny? After all the quality chances, that one goes in.
