couple excited playoff spot start thinking wanting win year
A couple years ago we were very excited just to clinch a playoff spot because we hadn't been there. But back then we also didn't go in thinking we just wanted to have fun; we wanted to win a series. This year we start just wanting to win one series.
ahead desperate flat fully match period start
They were more desperate than us off the start and we didn't match it. It was that first period where we were very flat and they were good. They got out ahead of us and we didn't fully get back into it.

These last six games, I've been feeling better and things are starting to roll. As a group, we're creating more scoring chances and it's good for everybody's confidence.

But we can improve. It was not a good road trip, but it's good to come home and start over with the home opener.

I've never been part of such a quick goal from the start of the period. I've seen it a few times by other teams watching on TV and stuff. Seeing it go in was definitely a good feeling.
