Streaks are meant to be broken, and it had to come to an end. It takes the pressure off Kyle and takes the pressure off everybody, and we can just go out and play next week. |
That's the type of play that we need going down the stretch. I can't say enough about Kyle and how he bounced back. |
That's who wins the conference ? it's who doesn't falter in the games they are supposed to win. And when you talk about the bottom of the league being that much stronger right now, it puts a lot more pressure on everybody, every day. |
The concern is you don't get the call, and you're not in the tournament. When you give up the things you can control and somebody else is in control, there are no guarantees. |
The team has played so well defensively. Even though we're nicked up, (the defense) just keeps plugging away and doing its job. |
We're playing well, yes; there's no doubt about it. Are we playing our best hockey? I don't think so. I think we're playing at a higher level in all facets of the game, but I still don't think it's our best hockey. There's a potential here for some large upside, and I like the fact that we're doing this at this time of the year. |
We've always thought they were a very skilled team but they're even more skilled than people know. They skate really well, they swarm the puck, the protect they puck well. They all have exceptional puck skills, stick skills, and they compete. |
You could see that it didn't matter who was coming at him. The puck was not going to get behind Kyle Jones (Saturday). He seemed to see everything clearly, and even when it was a scramble, he was in proper position. |
