Obviously we have put ourselves in real jeopardy again. |
Our power play didn't come through. It's a bunch of little things but they're adding up to big points we're losing out on. To win games you've got to score goals, and we just aren't doing that. |
That was one of the major points we keyed on before the game -- keep the puck away from him. We didn't and we couldn't get anything going. He just kept shooting the puck out. |
That's a play we haven't been able to use much all year because the refs aren't allowing us to. They're always calling Todd for interference in front of the net during the battle. But this time he was wide open. He got great body position on their defender. |
That's going to be our mentality heading into that game (tonight). I'm sure Calgary would like nothing more than to stick it to us, so to speak. They're going to be coming out extremely hard. We're desperate. We're backed in a corner here. We're fighting for our lives. |
The guys wanted clarification on that process. |
The system doesn't look like it's changed a whole lot. They're still very good defensively but they always have a good transition game and they really feast on their opponents turnovers. But I think the game came down to special teams. They got those two power play goals and that was the difference. |
There is no question that, at times, he was more lenient than he had been in the past. |
There seems to be a few smiles on his face out there, |
There's so much speculation and rumor you never know what's true and what's not. As long as we're in Vancouver, that's all that matters. |
These are huge games and these were two huge points. It was right there for us but we didn't get it done. Our power play didn't come through. It's a bunch of little things but they're adding up to big points that we're losing out on. |
These last few games have been pretty strange. That said we have to find a way to win. |
They did a good job of neutralizing us in the last 10 minutes. We couldn't get in on them and give a lot of pressure. |
This is a big, big blow. We saw the scores up there and we knew everybody else had won and we knew we had to score and get points out of this game. |
We came out, started to work, won puck battles and forced them to take penalties. |
