There's a sense of urgency until we're in the playoffs. We can't take anything for granted. |
They put it in the paper. Just because you have skill, you don't finish checks, doesn't mean you don't have grit. Our guys go to scoring areas. Our guys make plays. |
They've both made very good impressions. I'd have no problem putting them in the lineup any time for the rest of the season. |
They've had our number this season. And we don't have the playoff cushion they do at this point. So, for that reason, the two points were more important to us than [ending] the Hartford hex. |
This is a heck of a bonus. It's like landing a premier player at the deadline, and it doesn't affect your roster. We're happy to have him back. We thought he was lost for the year. |
Those kind of get lost in the shuffle. He was there all night. He's been outstanding of late. |
To me, that was a sign. I was trying to spark the team, getting Freddy in. |
We are getting way too cute with the puck. I don't know why but we just refuse to shoot. We've been doing this the entire series. We've got to get dirtier. |
We didn't play really good defense. That's why we were down 4-2. But the guys realized that after the first, we had to play better. We had to tighten things up. |
We didn't skate at all. They came here and they were committed to getting two points. They blocked shots, cleared the front of the net. They did a lot of little things to get two points. |
We earned every point, and we needed it. The guys in the room, everybody who's been here during the year, the guys we called up, everyone contributed. |
We had some pretty good chances. We just didn't bury them. We need to move it, get some shots through and get some traffic in front of the net. |
We lost some defensemen. We had a possibility to pick up Pratt. Obviously, we have a very deep group of forwards. I don't know if Travis was too happy with his role here. |
We need points. We're getting down to the playoff push. Our goal every night is to get two points, and we're accomplishing that. |
We played a great game. Everybody chipped in. |
