I love the way we came out in the first period. But then we had a four-minute power play and only got two shots on goal and in a game like this you just can't do that. We sat back and got complacent and against a veteran team like (the Braves) they'll beat you every time. We have to stay up for the entire game and play with urgency.
More Quotes from Jim Ingram:
He scores goals in bunches so its obvious we're going to need him and everybody else to show up for the next two games. When we don't bring our speed to a game we're a pretty average team but on the nights we're flying we're pretty much unstoppable. I think the guys realize what team we need out there to wrap this thing up.Jim Ingram
We got lazy and we got away from our systems. We did it before in the first round and we've done it in this round. We've lost our focus and to me that isn't acceptable for a team that won 30 games this season.
Jim Ingram
There were times when only 10 or 12 guys would show up and go through the motions of a practice. There was no energy and no desire. This was not the place to be.
Jim Ingram
I wouldn't say that was the turning point in the game. Riley had to make a lot of good saves in the game. If I had to describe our effort (Saturday) I would say it was less than inspiring. We didn't play well but I can't complain too much, we're up a game.
Jim Ingram
When you're at the top you're the team everybody gets up for. We had a team beat us the other night and you would have thought they won the Stanley Cup by the way they were yelling and whooping down the hall. The good thing is, that gives our guys the extra incentive to win. They don't like to hear that.
