This is a make-or-break point of the season ... It absolutely is. This is a playoff stretch for us. That has to be our mindset now. We have to get into that style.
This is a playoff stretch for us ... This has to be our mindset now. We have to get into that style.
I haven't had that feeling in a long time
Our battle level wasn't where it needs to be ... We're not the kind of team that can come out and hope it goes one way or the other, just play and let things happen. We've got to go make it happen.
I think it's a slow and gradual thing, but I think there's a bit of a backlash developing
We are playing an attacking-style ... We are skating, going to the net. That really gives me a lot of freedom to use my abilities and use my style of game. Also, it’s a whole new atmosphere and a whole new feel. I have been put into a leadership role and I have really enjoyed it.

They are giving us a chance to win every night. We just hope they can continue playing the way they are and that we can score some more goals...

Really happy for him, and it's important for us, too ... He really took charge of the game and basically just took over.
Yeah, I think so, but I don't think we're getting too high on ourselves, and I know we won't. It's one thing you have to caution against ... It's still real early in the season; we're not even a quarter of the way through yet. So we understand we have to get better, and we haven't had total, 60-minute e...
That probably won't ever change
