game
It's a game of opportunities and making the most of them. We didn't, and they did.
attitude commitment good guys ice legs pay talk unless willing work
It's all attitude. Some guys are willing to do it. Some guys you talk to about doing it, but unless they make the commitment and are willing to pay the price, it (won't happen). It's a real choice. It's an attitude about getting dirty. You're going to have to have ice packs on your legs and arms. Some guys are very good at it, and some guys need to work at it a lot more.
few sure teams wrinkles
I'm sure teams will try a few wrinkles here and there, but I think you just have to go out and play hard.
people production
We've been getting production from a lot of different people and that's a real positive.
colin played
We've got some versatility with our lineup. We've played without Colin in our lineup before and played pretty well. That's what we're going to need to do again.
games good home move solid start win
We'll just take the win and move on. We need to play two good solid home games and start the playoffs.
cause easy games goals score three work
When you go three games and only score three goals that is cause for concern. You just have to work through it, but there is no easy way to do that.
matter players suffer veteran
Typically, if your veteran players are doing it, everyone else will, too. It's just a matter of the more you do it, the more that's where you feel you need to be. It's an attitude. Some players don't think they are able to do that, and they suffer because of it.
alone biggest caused decisions game playoffs poor week
We were very average. The biggest thing is we didn't have any sharpness to our game tonight. We made some very poor decisions that caused goals. We can't have that any time, let alone a week before the playoffs start.
bit couple took
We took a couple unfortunate penalties, and that put us in a little bit of a bind.
last simple tonight
We didn't do some of the simple things we had done the last two games. We didn't do them tonight and we got outplayed.
game generally matter penalties played score
We had too many penalties in the first, and they were able to score two power-play goals. We battled back and played much better after the first 12 minutes. Generally our play got better as the game went on. It was a matter of not capitalizing enough.
coughing far generally gone gotten puck season tend
We're getting a little better as far as not coughing the puck up as much. When we do, that's when we tend to give up more shots. That's something that has gotten better generally as the season has gone on.
defensive early hand improved shoddy turned
We've turned around our defensive play and our goaltending has improved with that. They go hand in hand. After some shoddy play early in the season, we've improved that (defensive) area.
