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.
bad confidence given goals momentum power success
We've scored some big power-play goals that have given us momentum and confidence. We had a very bad power play in the first half, but we've improved, had some success and it's still evolving.
against ahead behind both chance concerned division games looking ourselves playing teams win
We're looking at things realistically. To even give ourselves a chance at the division we know we have to win both games against Everett. We're much more concerned with how we're playing than the teams ahead of us or behind us.

I was very happy the way we turned it up in the third. We elevated our game and made it hard for them to do anything.
breathe concerned good middle mind sigh start sure
In the back of my mind I was a little concerned about a letdown because you can breathe a sigh of relief. I'm not sure if that's what happened, but we had a very good start and then didn't play well in the middle of that game.
excellent few games johnson last
In the last few games Johnson have been excellent with his grittiness and passion. He's really impacted the last few games.
egg lay paper ready throughout tough weighs
It weighs on me why we weren't ready to go, because on paper that was a big game. To go out and lay an egg like that is tough to take. We just didn't play well throughout the lineup.
measure power score
We didn't measure very well. They do a lot of things well. They don't make many mistakes. They were able to score on their power play and we weren't.
