They kept coming and coming and we weren't able to kill off those couple of power plays (early in the third period). It's a 60-minute game, not a 40-minute game. |
They played us very tough. And Luongo is a good goalie. He gives them a chance every night. |
They're a lot better, |
This part of the year is all to get you ready and to put you in game situations. You would like the outcome to be different, but the most important thing is to see what you need to work on and you can't lose sight of that. |
Those 10 to 15 seconds made the whole experience worth it. |
Those are the breaks, ... You gotta roll with it. |
We definitely have the right stuff going right now. We put our best foot forward. We have to be proud of that. |
We like to start building some team chemistry. Me and Jordan are getting to know each other pretty good. |
We want to forget about X's and O's and just play hard and get an intensity level. If we get that as high as we can, good things will come from there. |
We're going to make some corrections. We've got to bear down on our power plays and bury our chances. We've got to capitalize on some of our opportunities and play solid defensively. |
We're not happy with the outcome, obviously. We're just going to keep playing. We're trying to stay positive. |
When you grow up in the same country, playing, there's something there. |
You do what you can to stay focused. If you don't see a lot of shots, it becomes more mental. |
You know in a game like this that one mistake could cost you. You don't want to have that mistake on your side. That's what drives you. No mistakes that will cost you the game. Stay focused. |
You're just kind of thrown into the fire there and you've just got to go out and compete. |
