bothers cannot game goal lets looking lousy shut start whatever win wrong
The thing that bothers me the most is I just thought we shut it down. Was our goaltending good? No, it wasn't good. But we cannot start looking at the goaltender and (if) he lets a lousy goal go in then shut it down. If we're not getting the saves, we better win the game 6-5 or whatever it has to be. But to shut it down, that's the wrong way to go here. And that's what disturbs me the most.

I couldn't be happier as far as how hard they played and then they turned it up in the overtime, that's what I liked. They tried to win so we'll take that point and go from there.
according anybody chance club darn enter gives happened pressure regular supposed team win
Are we the underdog? Your darn right we are. I don't think anybody gives us a chance to even with a game. To me, so be it. We know what we are about. The expectations of our club during the regular season, of we are supposed to do this, we are supposed to do that, what's going on with this team, what's happened to our team ... I think as we enter here in this series, we have no pressure on us. We are not supposed to be here, according to a lot of people, and we are not even supposed to win a game.
bunch chance couple giving johnny keeps key saves win
Johnny didn't have a whole bunch of work, but I think he made a couple of big saves at key times. That's the most important thing. ... (Our goaltending) keeps giving us a chance to win and get some points.
