We got a few lucky bounces. We're very fortunate. |
We got caught sleeping. We've been playing so well in the first period over the course of the last 10 games and tonight, maybe we were a little over confident. |
We have to make sure we hold on to that (the lead). In the playoffs it's really important that once you are up by one or two (goals) that the game is over. |
We just didn't want to see the same thing happen as we did last week. This was an important win for us and this is a very important home stretch for us. |
We missed a lot of opportunities, especially in the third, on the power play. In the playoffs, the games are often won on the power play and penalty kill. And our penalty kill has been great. |
We played very solid after it was 3-0. We could have easily tied it up. If we play the rest of the way like we did the last 30 minutes, we're going to be successful against any team. It should be a confidence builder. |
We're not playing well, |
We're still way behind them (six points) in the standings, so I think we have to be aware of that, ... We knew it was going to be an important weekend for us, and they're a very good hockey team, so we have to make sure we're ready. |
You have to get a lot of traffic in front of the guy's face so they can't see the puck. And you have to make sure you take as many shots as possible. That's going to be our strategy. |
You saw the fans. Everybody just stood up and was anxious to get it going. I think it's good for hockey. |
