It's only one game, but it's going to boost this team. |
Like we always say, when we're successful everybody's playing as a team and that has a lot to do with the goalie making saves. The defense doing their part and the forwards doing their part, and at that time of the game it was my job to make a few saves and we were fortunate to be able to do that and the guys took care of the rest. |
Maybe they had a rhyme and reason for everything, but it would have been nice to maybe communicate what the rhyme and reason was. You know, just so you're not left in the dark. But I didn't get an answer and that was the frustrating part. |
Once the puck drops, it's like a switch goes on, you're ready to compete. It's not the ideal way you would like to prepare for a game but the competitive juices just turn on and you're ready to go. |
Our main goal down the stretch here is to have that consistency. Everybody played well and intense. |
Robert obviously is playing well. But we got three guys here putting their best foot forward. |
Some of the guys mentioned we haven't won here in a long time. We just had to keep grinding. We were trying to get that monkey off our back, get two points and continue the roll we're on. |
Somebody mentioned we hadn't won here in a long time. It was nice to get the monkey off our back and continue to play the way we've been playing. |
Sometimes the team needs you to make 10 out of 10 [saves] instead of nine out of 10, |
That is what can get you over that hump and get a team out of a little bit of a slump. I haven't been able to do that, and that's what is frustrating. |
The past month or so that we've had success, we are just competing and battling with a never-say-die attitude. We know we need points. Unfortunately we dug ourselves a hole but I think it shows great character that we came back out and continued to battle. We weren't going to take no for an answer tonight and the guys really responded. |
The past six games, I felt pretty well. I think everybody's intensity has picked up. I think mine has. |
There wasn't much to shoot at. I thought I was there, and obviously he's got (90) points for a reason. |
There's no excuses, apologies in a few of the things went wrong. It's my fault. ... When you're confident and things are going your way, the puck looks like a beach ball. Right now, they're finding the cracks. |
They have so much firepower, you have to try to match their intensity. You give them an inch and they'll score a dozen goals. |
