We took advantage of every break we got. We took advantage of our odd-numbered situations that we haven't previously taken advantage of in Game 3 and Game 4. The good chances they gave us, we made sure we finished. We made sure that we got them down when we had the opportunity. |
We took the penalties that allowed them to have the five-on-three. |
We totally dominated the game. If it wasn't for their goaltending in the first period they should have been down 5-0. |
We used him how we want to use him. He's going to run and hit, and we're going to make plays. |
We want to adapt to the new standards and be on the leading edge of that, |
We want to go into the playoffs on a little bit of a run. We don't want to be going in playing sloppy hockey, getting careless, and losing games. |
We want to keep them both ready, but it's a tough situation going into the playoffs trying to play both. |
We wanted to go on the playoffs on a roll. This was a big game for them (Carolina). We knew they'd be fired up. Our challenge was to keep the shifts short and make sure we could maintain a good pace in the game. Our puck movement was excellent, we skated real well and took advantage of several turnovers. |
We went to small, creative, fast forwards, |
We were a little careless in our own zone, giving them some good chances in the first (period). We really bounced back in the last forty minutes. |
We were a shadow of ourselves. I couldn't find one forward I liked tonight. |
We were nervous. We thought we may lose him, but we were glad we didn't. |
We weren't up to the task on the special teams. Their special teams were a little bit better than ours. |
We'll continue to play the way we have been, rolling all four lines and keeping the same guys in the lineup. We want to be in a position where we go into the playoffs with a bit of momentum. |
We're a good road team, and we have to go out and win a road game. |
