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.
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.
double happened lose move overtime result whether work
Whether you lose in double overtime or it's 8-4, it's all the same. Look what happened to Detroit; they had the same result we did. So it's back to work and move on from this.
good great ran sloppy third together
We were sloppy from the start. That's why we were down 4-1. We put together a very good third but they've got a great goalie and we just ran out of time.
chance hurt plays power
We had a chance to go up 2-0 or even 3-0 with some power plays and we couldn't do it -- that really hurt us.
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.
everybody gets physical
To see him go out there and be physical like that, being a little guy, that gets everybody up.
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.
found time ways year
We found a way ... that's what we've been doing. We've found ways to win, and this is the time of year you have to do it.
deserve game kept sit won
We didn't deserve better. You can't sit there and say that we should have won this game. We were waiting. We started the game pretty good, but as the game went on, we just kept waiting. I don't know why.
bad good pressure team teams win
When you've had a good team for that many years, the pressure will mount. There's only so many teams that can win, so it's not like they're bad players. But they're like everyone else - they want to win this thing.
anybody compete confident fine
We're fine with our team. We're very confident we can compete with anybody any night. I think we're a better team, we're more experienced.
best foot ourselves period played series shot start worry
We shot ourselves in the foot to start out. They played their best period of the series in the first. I just think we have to worry about ourselves. We have to come out a lot better.
forget third
We shouldn't be down 2-1 going to the third period. Forget about the third period. We shouldn't be in that position.
