In the mini-game format everyone understands what their up against. I told the guys to get a lot of rest tonight because you're going to be playing a lot of hockey tomorrow if we play our cards right.
The old joke around here is we'll play the Russians on roller blades at the mall for a chance to keep playing at this time of year.
We had a couple goals disallowed. One they said didn't cross the line and the other they said the whistle blew. On their fourth goal, the net was off and they counted it.
We were good all over the ice really. We were all over them, but we couldn't bang one by him. We played well and came up with nothing.
They're the masters of playing for break and when they get one making it count.
It's a tough way for our season to end, but it doesn't come down to this game. It's that game you should have won in November or December.
We know we're not going to beat him with something from the perimeter. He has good pads and contains long shots. We've got to get traffic in front of him. If he stops the shot we have to get the puck back.
When are goalies are good, we're a dynamite team.
I'd much rather not have given up those two goals, but they're a good team and our penalty kill units had to work hard tonight.
