We knew it was going to be big, these four games. That was probably the easiest thing to do, try to stop the losing streak at home. We've been able to play good at home and that gives us extra confidence in the playoffs.
They're hot and it's always great to play your best hockey before the playoffs. But it's going to stop somewhere, you know? Nothing lasts forever and hopefully we can stop them. But it's not going to be easy.
This is not the way you want to go into the playoffs. They're hot, but it has to stop somewhere.
Any win is a good win, especially when you lose three straight at home. I was a little scared. In every game, we had a lead or were tied in the third period and just blew it. Three straight games. Mistakes after mistakes. We had to stop doing that.

It is awfully exhausting and devastating. This is sport and sometimes it simply does not work.
I think there's a difference between Ottawa and the Islanders right now.
I thought we were dominating from the first shift. Even when the score was tied after the first period, we were in their zone and we had a lot of scoring chances.

I saw a lot of pictures but I don't understand it.
