Our schedule is extremely condensed, but I think a lot of it is just keeping your focus, especially if you get on a good roll. You've just got to focus each and every game and get prepared mentally and physically for the next outing, because there's not much time between games.
This was a good game on our part in the desperate part of the game.
That was a pretty good effort right from the start. We've come a long way. The beatings they put on us were the low point, but we responded and stuck together, and to come out with a game like that is pretty nice to see.
We've proven to ourselves in here (how good they can be)and ultimately that is the important thing.
Personally, I think he's the real deal. I've skated with him and have seen what he can do. But it's hard where everywhere he goes there's a press conference. It would be good for people to let him be a kid in the league and be a rookie and let him adjust as he goes.
It's probably a good thing to fly under the radar a little bit. Like any other poll or prediction, you want to be on top at the end, not the beginning.
He seems like a solid, well put-together kid. He kept his nose right in there and wasn't shying away. If he keeps getting better every practice, he's going to be a pretty good player.
I think it starts with goaltending. They've been giving us great games and we have a lot of confidence to play our game and do the things we need to do offensively.
We wanted to go out with a bang. We wanted to give our fans something to remember before we went away. I was pretty proud of our team.
Our power play certainly wasn't as sharp as it was the previous game. They got a couple of bounces in the second period and that's your game.
Just simple stuff, little 5-foot passes, simple passes, we were just missing them.
It exemplifies a little bit of our season. There's no quit no matter what's left on the clock or what the situation is.
Those were some tough losses. Responding to them was a pretty big step for our team confidence-wise.
We're unflappable on the road. We seem to be fearless right now.
