The game was just like the last time in here. Both teams played pretty hard, pretty well defensively. We played better defensively than we had in the last few games. I just hope we realize that, and get ready for them again in a couple of days. |
The league likes to give letters out for diving. I think what they give letters out for is ugly diving. There's a lot of diving that goes on, plays like that. |
The playoffs are tough. Nothing is going to be given to you. Tonight, we played like we expected that something would be given to us. |
There is a belief in each other right now that if we go out there and work hard, we have a good opportunity (to win) every night. |
There is a belief in each other right now, that if we go out there and work hard, we have a good opportunity every night. No matter what kind of talent you have on your team, you need that if you really want to do well and win hockey games. You need that feeling. We have to hold on to it now. |
There were a few things, obviously the big one was that since I was 16 and he was 15, we've been apart, but now we can be together again. The family can all come down. |
Those teams are all playing for playoff position, too, so you don't want to fool around. We've been in that (playoff-race) mode for quite a while. We're going to have to be at our best from here on in. |
Those two guys know each other quite well. They've probably done that hundreds of times before. |
We came out and skated and did what we wanted to do, and it paid off. When we had chances, we put it in the net. There's no recipe for that. It was just one of those nights. Some nights it doesn't work quite as smoothly as this and we don't score quite as many goals. |
We came out, skated and did what we wanted to do. It paid off. We needed to play well here. We came up short the previous two times. |
We didn't want to get down two goals like that early in the game. They came out ready to go and we just weren't jumping like we needed to be. For us to compete with them we need to be going as hard as we can. |
We fell on the wrong end of the stick on a lot of the calls. |
We felt good coming into the third period just down by one; you're still there, you're one shot from tying the game up. |
We had a few little breakdowns and they took advantage of it. |
We had our fair share of things go against us. We would like to always understand that if you continually work hard, you will have some form of reward. This was one of those things. |
