add change correct guy huge hurting mistakes obviously team
Obviously he's a huge part of this team and he's going to add a lot to it, but with or without him, we need to change things and play differently. We're making too many of the same mistakes and that's what hurting us. For a guy to come back and correct all that, that's not going to happen.
Right now it's in our hands. It's in our control.
might
We might as well make it interesting. We've made it interesting all year.
No, not at all. That's where you need to keep your focus. You try not to give them anything to go on.
beginning couple last lose row time trying understand year
There's no real panic. It's just trying to understand what we weren't doing right the last couple of games. Any time you lose two in a row in that fashion, there's got to be some concern, but we know what we need to do. It's not like the beginning of the year when we were searching.
puck shortage
There's no shortage of effort. We just need to get the puck in the net.
behind bought came carried found initial instead net swung throwing
It was all Sergei. Instead of throwing it away, he carried it behind the net and bought some time. I was able to get back to the net. Off the initial rush, I kind of swung away and came back and he found me.
good nice rolling start win
It would be nice to get a win and start rolling and feel good about ourselves.
certain couple night react situations time tried
You see what he does in certain situations and try to react off that. I tried a couple of things the other night and this time I tried something else.
early goals stuck three
Once we got up early on them with those three goals, we just stuck with what we were doing.
lets move
That's his move. He doesn't move the puck. he just lets it go.
chance division knew third throw
We knew what was going on. Down 3-1 going into the third and with a chance for a division title, we had to throw everything on the line.
start stick
We know we need to start scoring. We just have to stick with it. We know we're doing the right things.
business care concern games happens high left main montreal taking trying winning
Our main concern was winning games and trying to get as high as we could. Obviously, we've been taking care of our own business and we can do that again. We have one game left in Montreal and if we win that, we'll just see what happens from there.
