The split was important for momentum, for confidence and for place in the standings. So that was a huge win for us on Saturday night. |
This weekend we have to compete hard in our games with Minnesota, and go for it. We're on home ice for the next six games and we want to take advantage of that. |
We changed our power play today. We went with something totally new and they executed it well - we didn't even have a chance to practice it. |
We did a great job of staying out of the box. We didn't fatigue ourselves killing penalties. |
We had three fairly quick penalties in that first period. It gets you out of your five-on-five play I thought we worked hard and we did a good job on the kill for the most part, but we've got to do a little better job of staying out of the box. |
We need to get it going. We need to score on it. That's your objective on the power play. Puck movement needs to result in a goal. |
We're going to have to play solid in both games. We're going to have to really be skating a strong game we need solid efforts from everybody. We need everybody to play their role and play within their ability as a team. |
We've been working on our movement and we've worked on some plays on the power play. We're definitely getting opportunities, we just need the puck to go in for us. We're positive that that's going to happen this weekend. |
Well the New Year was a new beginning for us and we're one point out of third place. So we just want to keep inching up the standings board and see how high we can get. And we've got the schedule in front of us right now to do a lot of damage. We need to be focused on one game at a time and not think past our next opponent and our next game. |
