Seventh or sixth or five. Everything's got some incentive. We'd like to move up in the standings and finish as high as we can. The priority is getting in the playoffs. That's the bottom line and first priority. |
Some teams you don't get to see and some teams you only see once. |
Sometimes with a line, whether it's with an individual or you just want to shake things up and maybe get a spark somewhere; sometimes we mix it up in the course of a game. |
Sometimes you still want to reach back and grab the guy who took the puck away. It shouldn't be a habit anymore, but it's still a guy's natural instinct. Overall, I like the way the game is being played and officiated. |
Special teams were huge. It's nice to see our power play produce too. |
That first period was the best we played all year. So many things across the board are what we are looking for. |
That type of team, we've got to play a perfect game against to win and we didn't. |
That was a big kill. We really got some energy coming off that. That was a period of the game where we really had to step up, and we did. |
That was definitely a strange game. We had a couple of games where we had the three-goal lead and let it get away from us earlier in the year. I liked the way we battled back. Even though we were down by three goals, we were still positive. |
That was the plan, yeah. He had some work this morning and I think it was an opportunity for us to get his feet wet, get him back in it. It's been a while since he's played. |
That's a team that does a lot of things right and they're having a real strong year. |
That's a tough loss. He's had such a tremendous year with that consistency and jumping over the boards every shift with his intensity and emotion. |
That's going to be exciting. |
That's not the recipe for success. We were lucky both games. |
That's not the recipe for success. We were lucky both games. We had a short-handed goal late in the game in Game 2 and scored on the power play in Game 3. Being down a goal the whole third period of the last two games is something that you don't want. You would rather have the lead and dictate the play. |
