What people are saying
The last six games haven't gone the way we wanted them to. Going in with the same energy we had at the beginning of the season is important.
Right now, in these last few here, we’ve been making mistakes that have been ending up in the back of our net.
But you’ve got to capitalize. You’ve got to find a way.
We’ve got to move on and be ready for a very strong Tampa team, and be ready right from the get-go.
