cry easy game learn playoff playoffs successful whine win
We won't be successful in a playoff game like that. We'll take the win and learn from our mistakes. It's easy to whine and cry. But we'll whine and cry our way right out of the playoffs if we do that.
guess happened playing plays pressure team willing win
When you can't make plays under pressure and you're not willing to win 1-on-1 battles, then I guess that's the game. Then the bounces. I'd like to see how many bounces go to the team playing with more desperation. That's kind of the way it happened tonight.
bearing great sign step taking
When things aren't going your way, he can step up to that other level. That makes him a great player. He's bearing down on opportunities. He's taking all the challenges, and that's a great sign for our team.
ready talk
We haven't had much to play for for a while. I think that's been weighing on players' minds. But everything we talk about is getting ready for the playoffs.
blue cover mistakes smart stupid
Those are little mistakes, but it's not just the mistakes but how you cover up for them after. How do you give up a breakaway from your own blue line? That's just stupid play. There's no way to sugarcoat that. It's just not a smart play.

bad concerned goes planning player respond seemed serious skating talked
When any player goes down you get a little scare, but it's not bad at all. He just tweaked an old injury. When I talked to him between periods, he seemed to respond well, so I don't think it's serious at all. I just talked to him and he was planning on skating tomorrow, so there's nothing to be concerned about. I don't think there's much to evaluate.
focal game sure
You have to fine-tune. We try to go into each game and say, 'Here's a focal point.' We want to make sure going in that things are right.
happen marks question
There are some question marks and things that need to happen for us, but I like this team.
talk trust ultimate work
We work on things, we talk about things. But in the end, that's the ultimate one-on-one, and you have to trust the player.
class imagination stretch
We were all right. I wouldn't class that as a masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination - from play to officiating to the whole works.
factor fatigue knew needed team
We needed for him to be good. We knew that fatigue was going to be a factor on our team and we needed him to give us a chance.
