backs battling contest extremely facing group kids knew last locker proud seconds tooth
I was extremely proud of our guys. We knew we were facing elimination, our backs to the wall, and even down to the last 30 seconds of that contest we were battling tooth and nail. I couldn't be more proud of the group of kids in that locker room.
proven
They're a better team. They've proven that. My hat's off to them.

Depends on what Mike wants to do. Maybe if he stays in the area, but that's only speculative on my part.

Dave, he was a huge part of this team. I think the way this has gone on, we all take this personally. We all need to step up.

There's some questions surrounding both teams, no doubt. They'll be answered in the first round.
later morning night point track
It's getting to the point where every day you have to track where you've been. If we get there at 3 o'clock in the morning and play later that day, you're only there one day. But if you get in the night before you were there, two.
situation
They'll say the same thing. I like the situation we're in.

No one is happy. No one (has) a smile on his face.

We have (defensive) team goals, ... Our goals are stopping yards, stopping long drives and forcing turnovers.

You'd rather lose 6-1 or 6-2; that way you're embarrassed and you want to come back. If you lose 3-2 or 4-2, you're not as determined to come back.
forget remember time
We're going to forget about this one, but at the same time we're going to remember it.

What do you do? You battle. It's the NHL playoffs. (But) it seems like everything is crumbling down around us.
