moving nice sign team
It was nice to have our whole team on the ice. It was a real sign of us moving ahead.
close confident games good playing score
Part of it is that we don't score a lot, so we had better be good in one-goal games. We're confident and comfortable playing in close games.
good needed played third until
I didn't think we played well, especially in the first period. I don't think we really played well until the third period. ... We were good in spurts, but there is a lot of things that needed to be better.
extra happen liked played
I liked the way we played. We wanted the extra point, but we really played pretty well. We made some mistakes, but they are going to happen sometimes in hockey.

He is a guy you can count on in all areas, offensively and defensively. He is strong on face-offs, on top of being a very good penalty killer. He is our captain here and he is a big leader for us in all areas.

Hopefully we all got the message and learned that we can't afford not to be ready to play. We've got some special things we're going to work on to drive that point home.

against best critical penalties power prevention special teams
Special teams are always critical against Everett. They don't take many penalties and they have the best power play in the league. The best way to kill penalties against Everett is not to take them. Prevention is the key.
bigger game needs next point win worry
There is no point making it any bigger than it needs to be. We just need to win our next game, then we'll worry about a Game 7.
needed scoring
We had some scoring chances, but we just didn't play as well as we needed to. We've got to play a lot harder.
far nearly played road steps taken three
We've played three road games, but we just haven't played nearly as well as we need to. We've taken some steps to improve, but we're far from happy.
