bit few game hard last loose night pick seeing tough
It was a tough night for us, but I think it's something that we needed. We've been a little bit loose defensively the last few games, so just seeing how hard they were working made us pick our game up.
couple emotional guys honest team
They've had a couple emotional games, and they're in the hunt. Sometimes you say things that aren't true. For the most part, we have a pretty honest team here, and the way the game's called now if you get tugged, guys aren't going down.
creative figure learn starting thomas trying
I think we're still getting used to each other a little bit, trying to figure it out a little. Thomas is very creative with the puck, so we're starting to learn how to read off him.
bit both five four games good guys middle outside plays rink safe side special teams tonight tried won
I think tonight we just wanted to be a little bit more on the safe side and not try to make plays through the middle of the rink because they've had four or five guys there. Most games are going to be won in your own end and special teams and I think we were pretty good in both areas. We just tried to keep them to the outside and not give them any odd-man rushes.
sports toronto

pick pocket roy saw threw
Roy kind of jumped their defenseman. I don't think the defenseman saw him. He was able to pick his pocket and he just threw it out to me. It was kind of just a bang-bang play.
game
We have to get our game straight, that's the most important thing.
