Our main concern was winning games and trying to get as high as we could. Obviously, we've been taking care of our own business and we can do that again. We have one game left in Montreal and if we win that, we'll just see what happens from there. |
Right now it's in our hands. It's in our control. |
That's his move. He doesn't move the puck. he just lets it go. |
The reason you come here is for a medal. |
There's no real panic. It's just trying to understand what we weren't doing right the last couple of games. Any time you lose two in a row in that fashion, there's got to be some concern, but we know what we need to do. It's not like the beginning of the year when we were searching. |
There's no shortage of effort. We just need to get the puck in the net. |
They cracked down so much the first month that it was hard to know what you could get away with. Now you can battle for the puck. |
Three one-goal losses are tough to swallow. We need to erase that. It's single-elimination now. It doesn't matter what our records are. |
To be up there with him is an honor. |
Tonight, when it really mattered, we couldn't get it done. |
We dominated. The number of chances we had didn't show in the goals. |
We don't start the same way against those bottom teams. Against these top teams, we're playing them desperate right from the drop of the puck. We're playing down to other levels. We start out slow and let them take the game to us. |
We focused in and wanted to finish strong in the last 10, 11 games. We'll see what happens. Things still have to happen for us to get the title. We just need to take care of what we need to take care of. |
We got away from (playing our style) the previous two games. We just have to worry about ourselves right now. |
We had a good road trip there a couple weeks back. But that next trip was not what we wanted. |
