beat complete effort five guys last looked move next opposite six team throw tonight
This was the opposite of the last game. They had five guys missing, and tonight it looked like we did, too. Five or six guys missing. You need a complete team effort to beat a team like Detroit, especially here, and we didn't get it. So we'll just throw it away and move on the next one.
address happened move tonight
We just keep on battling. What happened tonight shouldn't. We'll address it and move forward.
dangerous five goals picked plays power since teams threaten tonight
Tonight was kind of an anomaly. You're not going to threaten teams with five power play goals. Since we picked up Joe, though, we've had one of the most dangerous power plays in the league.
five guys seemed six tonight
Tonight it seemed like we had five or six guys missing.
avoid clicking found job ourselves power start talked tonight
We didn't want to start with a 2-0 hole, and we talked about how to avoid that, but we found ourselves in that position. Fortunately, our power play was clicking tonight and got the job done.
advantage drained negative played roll sliding sticks surrounded team tonight totally
They were tight, and squeezing the sticks as they were, we were able to take advantage of it. When you get on a roll like this, you go storming into the playoffs. ... That team we played tonight is totally drained because they're surrounded by a negative atmosphere, and it's sliding all the way down the (roster).
eight game lose next tonight win
I will not win a game tonight to lose the next eight games. I will lose a game tonight to win the next eight games, if that makes any sense.
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.
game goal next run table toughest
Our goal is to run the table here. The toughest game is always the next one you're going to play.
bail call constantly game kept slow
Our goalie kept us in the game early. We started out a little slow in the first period, but once we got our legs, we were OK. It's a wake-up call when your goalie has to constantly bail you out.
