bear casual power second
We had too many casual moments. As we were getting power plays, especially in the second period, we just didn't bear down. It was sloppy. It was just like we were on our own plan.
advantage casual deserve hard mistake rest second silly took worked
We were just way too casual the whole second period. We never worked hard enough to deserve anything the rest of the period. And they took advantage of every silly little mistake we made. We got what we deserved.
game second
He didn't look at all like it was his second game in the NHL.
expected flat period second signal
We expected that in the first period and I thought we responded. I just didn't think that would signal the flat second period we had. We were awful.
adversity handle period second test
The test was, could we handle the adversity in the second period and we did.
deserved second
We deserved what we got in the second period.
casual chances gotten pay puck scoring second taking until
I'm not taking anything away from Columbus, but they didn't really have any scoring chances until the end of the second period. It was a play where we could have gotten the puck and didn't. We were casual and they made us pay for it.
longer people second seen teams tooth weary
For all the people who say we're too young, this is when it really comes in handy. I've seen some of the teams that are longer in the tooth -- they're the ones that are really weary on the second nights.
casual gave gotten pay puck second talked third
It was a play where we could have gotten the puck and we didn't. We were casual and they made us pay for it. We talked about that between the second and the third periods. We just gave them life.
breaks couple early joe might pipe provided shot time
I think that first shot that Joe clanked off the pipe might have shaken them up a little bit. He provided a spark, but for the first time in a while we got a couple of breaks early in the game.
fearing man people though totally
People are fearing him now, and that's what you want to see with Joe. He's a man on a mission. . . . Even though he's not getting points, he's totally controlling the game.
bump bury dominated game hit minutes move talked
We dominated the game for 35 minutes and we should have been up 4-, 5-, or 6-0. We talked before the game if we hit a bump in the road, we'd just bury it and move on.
finally last skaters totally
We finally had 18 skaters totally committed. The last two games, I couldn't say that.
bounce handed happens points puck stick stuff
We handed two points away. That's a shame. We had the puck on our stick and didn't get the puck out of our zone. When stuff like that happens at this point of the season, it's inexcusable. But we'll bounce back.
