I don't know if the NHL wants to do that, though.

I think they called it a little bit different. They let a little bit more go.

Each game we win we get closer and closer. We still have hope and we will keep pushing.

We know we can play with any team in the league. We've proven it before, and when we play hard, we play desperate, we're one of the top clubs, too.

We try not to look at it (the standings). Each game we win it's closer and closer and hopefully we're going to continue the next few games to keep winning. Then we can think about the playoffs.

We understand each other and know where to go and what to do. We want to limit the shots. Right now the special teams are a really big key of the game.

Last game we got lucky; a lot of things went in the net. Tonight we didn't get lucky; a lot of shots, but nothing went in. It was one of those days.

We just didn't have it. This was a key game and we didn't execute the way we needed to.

It's great we get lucky and we win these games because they're really tough. Especially now. They've got nothing to play for, they're playing for themselves, and they're playing hard.
