chance gave
(Mucha) was exceptional tonight. He gave us a chance to be in it to the end.
along continue creating goes percentage power series terms
(Specialty teams) are going to continue to be very important. Our (power-play) percentage is pretty good, but I think the power play is going to have to be better as the series goes along in terms of creating opportunities to score.
best player
He's the best player on the ice. We need to know where he is all the time.
certainly compete good guys level
I certainly don't want to take anything away from Vancouver. They are a very good team. But, we didn't have enough guys compete to the level of their ability.
great hockey played
They've played some great hockey on this trip.
behind expense fall goals offense strong team three
They're not a team we want to fall behind two or three goals to. So we want to have a strong start, get some offense early, but not at the expense of defense.
helped
It's helped us in a lot of areas.
elevate helped longer playing quite seem
It's helped our whole team. We still need to elevate our play quite a bit, but we seem to be playing better for longer stretches (of games).
bring guys next pride series tough vancouver
I think, and I hope, that there is enough pride in our guys that they'll make it tough. We want to make it very tough for Vancouver to get that next win. We'd like to bring the series back to Portland.
both ends played playing puck regardless shot
Regardless of the results, we played outstanding in the first. We played at both ends of the ice, shot the puck finally. We didn't get rewarded, but there's not many times you won't if you keep playing like that.
