When you're on the power play you get the momentum rolling for you, even when you don't score. You drain the guys who are killing penalties. |
You can see how close it was for all these teams to get into the playoffs. Anybody really had a chance to beat anybody. The league wanted pretty much an even league and that's what they got. I think the No. 8 seed (in the playoffs) can beat the No. 1 and the No. 7 seed can upset the No. 2 seed and you can just go down the list. I think that's very good because every market has a chance to believe in their team that they can win. |
You can't just sit on a lead and expect to win those games. That's what we did, and they came at us pretty hard. We got at least one point, but that's not what we came here for. |
You try to build off a win like that. We came back strong. We just have to be smarter next game, I guess. |
You used to put the trap out there, and you'd be fine. Now you just can't do that. And obviously tonight, they came back. |
