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.
anybody chances game good learn quality scoring time zone
I thought we had as many good quality scoring chances as they did. But we've got to realize, we can't get into a run-and-gun game with anybody at this time of year. We've got to learn from Game 1 that we've got to play a little tighter in our own zone and a little better defensively.
consistency game hard key room sharper work
I think we've got a lot of room for improvement. The key to our game is we have to work hard and keep doing the little things. We're getting more consistency in the way we play. We're working smarter, but we've got to get a little sharper at execution.
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.
against everybody far general goals last month page penalty reason
Our penalty kill in the last month in general has been really good. That's an area, a reason why our goals against has been really down because of the improvements in our penalty killers and the goaltending hand-and-hand, everybody is getting more on the same page as far as responsibility.
excellent flying
Rockford will be the prohibitive favorite, and they should be. They've had an excellent season. We're flying under the radar, and we'll play our game.
matter player score shame traffic type willing
It doesn't matter what type of player you are. Are you willing to go through traffic to score some goals? If you're not, shame on you. Really, shame on you.
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.
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.
bad
We were not too bad for the first two periods.
game goals last nowhere periods played point result slowly terrible three
We'll take a point any way we can get it. We battled back the last two periods after having just a terrible first period. We were nowhere to be found. Our game slowly got better the last 30 minutes. We really played to our abilities and got three goals as a result of it.
slip smart
We let one slip away. We didn't play smart with the lead.
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.
people production
We've been getting production from a lot of different people and that's a real positive.
