These are the games you have to win. We've got to start climbing the ladder back into a playoff spot and get better in our division. |
They capitalized on our mistakes. That's what led to their first two goals. Then came the third period and we take a couple of penalties and they took advantage again. |
They were really important points tonight, and we let them slip away. We've got to come out with more intensity from the first shift. I haven't played the way I need to play, and I have to step it up. |
We can't afford to make mistakes. I, myself, I'm supposed to be leading on this team. Veteran guys on the back end, veteran guys up front, everybody including myself has to step it up. |
We can't keep saying we'll do it later on, there's not a lot of games left. |
We feel good about where we are from the last few months let alone the last few weeks. We knew it was going to come down to the end of the season. We're right where we wanted to be. |
We were moving our feet a lot and drawing a lot of penalties. It was the way we wanted to come out. |
We'll be fine and when I say that, it's nothing against those guys; it's learning from those guys. You can't keep everybody together forever. The great thing is, they showed us how to do it. You take a little bit of that and bring a little bit of your own stuff. |
We've been struggling to come back all year, but we stuck with it and did a good job. |
We've got to be happy with our third period and how we came together down the stretch. But we've got to be embarrassed about the first two periods. |
We've got to realize how important these games are. The way teams can get points nowadays, especially with the amount of games we have left, we can't let these things slip as it's really hard to make up points. |
We've got to salvage this trip. We have to win, no question about it. |
When Joe came in this year, I thought it was great because it took pressure off both of them. It allows for a 1-2 punch, and they've proven that the last couple games. Defenses try to take away Joe, and Patty comes up with a couple goals that are huge for us. |
