Huge game. Two points could have made that gap a little bigger, but now they're right there with us. It's going to be a battle every game. |
I think everyone's expectations are higher this year. They want us to score more goals. It's something that we know in the locker-room what we're trying to do and it's not like it's a secret that we haven't figured that out yet. |
That's something we're all working on. If everyone in here had a couple more goals, we'd be right up there. |
The key was getting our feet moving and drawing penalties. We knew that special teams would be the difference. |
They (Chicago's penalty killers) are very, very aggressive. Five-on-four, four-on-three, they come at you. We almost had to play it like we were five-on-five. |
Yesterday, we didn't show up, we didn't play the way we wanted to, so we re-focused and re-prepared for the game tonight. It's a playoff atmosphere when you get to play the same team the following day with it fresh in your mind what happened the previous day. |
You know what? Anytime I can contribute and help out that way, it's exciting. I put a lot of pressure on myself. You just go out there and try to do your best for the teammates. If you keep working hard, things are finally are going to go your way. |
