moved power
Our power play (stinks). We moved the puck, but we didn't produce.
capitalize changed game power special
We need to capitalize on our own power plays. That's what changed this game - special teams.
bringing concerned hope main miss piece power
We're going to miss him. He's a main piece to our puzzle, offensively, defensively, on our power play, all the things. Having said that, we'll hope he comes back but if he doesn't we have to be concerned about bringing someone up and we have to keep on playing.
looks power stagnant wants
We look so stagnant on our power play. It looks like no one wants the puck.
almost bad believe confidence eventually good happen lack man people power turn waiting
They know it's costing us. I go back to the people we have, eventually that thing has to turn around. I just believe that because we have good players. Right now, we lack so much confidence when we're up a man it's almost like we're waiting that something bad is going to happen to us when we get on the power play.
along boards ice middle playing power puck
A big part of the power play is getting to the middle of the ice with the puck and not just playing on the wall, playing along the boards where (opponents) can be aggressive.
bite game good great key later power sooner struggled
The key to the game was, I thought our power play was very good early, and Theodore was better. He made some great saves. Later on, I thought our power play struggled and you know it's going to come back and bite you, sooner or later.
played plenty scoring
I thought we played well enough to win. We had plenty of scoring chances, and we just didn't finish.
eight five played scoring
I thought we played very well, but do the math. Eight scoring chances, five goals. It's frustrating.
answer couple key obviously score sure
I thought the key was making sure when we got down 1-0 to come back and answer right away, and obviously score a couple more after that.
banging last level maturity shown stayed tried turned
I think it's the maturity level of our club. I think we've shown that the last little while. We've stayed with it. We haven't turned into individuals, we've just tried to keep banging away.
handle mature next
It happens. We're mature enough to handle to that. Just look to the next game.
disrespect playing room team worrying
I think the room has really responded. No disrespect to Andy, but this team is worrying about playing better and they're playing very well.
amongst boiling gets ourselves points stay team time together tonight tough within
I think there were things within our team tonight amongst ourselves where it was boiling points and frustration with one another. I think it's very important right now, when it gets to that level, that we've just got to stay together. There are some tough times in a long season. This is the time we need to stay together and just get through it.
