It's definitely a problem. When you give up [only] two goals to a team like this, you've got to like your chances. It's just one of those things where we've got to keep going. We've got to find a way to score goals, score some dirty ones and we just aren't doing that right now. |
It's no secret we're a better team when we have the lead. |
It's pretty amazing. Two weeks ago we were worried about getting into the playoffs, and now we're sitting with home ice winning our division. |
Other than the first period, I thought we played a solid game. We snapped out of making those mistakes we made in the first period and played better during the second and third. |
Patty sees the ice very well. I was trying to find a lane there so he could make as easy a pass as possible. It was a great pass by Patty. |
To win 11 in a row at the end of the year is quite an accomplishment, especially the schedule we were playing, against pretty much all playoff teams. We're excited about the way we're playing, but this team is built to play in the playoffs and that's what we base our accomplishments on and we're excited about our opportunity now. |
Toronto. I do (remember). I hit the post with 20 seconds left. |
Toronto. I hit the post. |
We can't expect to get in the playoffs like this. We have to find a way to score some goals. |
We have a one-game lead. If we start thinking we accomplished something or we're in control, that's when we get into trouble. We're up 1-0 and we'll enjoy that and then get ready for the next game. |
We need to get some points to give ourselves a chance. If we fall too much further back, it's a big mountain to climb. I think we realize that. |
We see a team ahead of us that we've got a chance to catch and that's our focus right now. If it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen. But we're playing pretty well right now and we just want to continue this. |
We're definitely playing with confidence. When you have confidence, things seem to go better. |
We're excited about the way we're playing. This team is built to play in the playoffs, and that's how we base our game. |
We're in a tight race right now and points are huge. We're in a battle to get in the playoffs and we've got 14 games left. We need to get some points. You can't get in playing like this. We're not winning. |
