We put ourselves in a position to win. We just have to find ways to close those ones out.
Nothing changes. One game at a time. We're not in a position to do anything more than try to improve where we are in the standings and improve our position for the playoffs. We're going to continue to push in that direction.
Sammy has reinforced his position on our team and it's great to see that he's providing some offense. Does he want to be a five-goal scorer? Or a 10-goal scorer? Or a 15- to 20-goal scorer? He's proving he wants to be the latter.
It wasn't pretty, but we'll take the outcome. We put ourselves in position to win it.
These points are up for grabs and any team in our position has to win our share of games. If you don't you are not going to make the playoffs.
I thought we deserved a better fate, but we didn't get it. There is no use worrying about it. We can't change it.
I thought we didn't play 60 minutes, we played about 50 minutes.
We really stayed with our work ethic. Our players seem to enjoy that.
We got down early but found a way to claw back. The one thing that this group has demonstrated all year is resiliency.
We got beat by a very special player. He did everything he had to do to dominate the game in the goal-scoring department. He's a dominant young player. He's the real deal.
We had more structure, but our penalty parade took us out of the hockey game. You can't continually give teams the quality of Dallas power plays. They made us pay.
We had lots of energy early. Lots of things went our way.
Our players deserve the credit. They took the responsibility. We got down 3-1, we battled back. We found a way.
Our work ethic was there. We got the opportunity on the power play and took advantage of them.
