Roy: The first year I got here, we were going into the third periods and we couldn’t believe we could lose that hockey game. This year, since the first game of the season (a collapse against Minnesota), when we lost that game, it really made us very fragile. Every time we were going into the third, I think we carried that game all year long in the third period. It really hit us hard and it was something we’re going to have to approach next year and have to be stronger in the third period, especially mentally."

Duchene: In the dressing room, Matt Duchene said that after the recent back-to-back losses to Philadelphia and Minnesota, “it took the wind out of our sails. I think we counted ourselves out rather than staying with it and making sure we kept going.”

Gyerekek, itt nagyon nagy a baj ha ilyen szinten van a társaság mentális erősségben. A szezon első meccsétől elszállt az önbizalom? Kemény volt a végjáték ott igen, de azért ne már... Illetve a végén is, két vereség és feladta a csapat. Így nem fogunk semmire sem jutni.


Roy a rendszerről: “There are things I would like to improve. One thing I’ve been trying to do is adapt to the team, and if I thought we were struggling on our tracking, I would try to facilitate this. Maybe I should to try to persevere and try to be tougher in the message that that’s how we want to play. . . Neutral zone forecheck, we could make some changes here and there. But the forecheck I thought was really good. The D-zone coverage, can we be better on putting more pressure on the defensemen when they have the puck? Yes. Is it an adjustment we tried to make in the season? Yes, we have. But the big deal in our D-zone coverage is our gap. It’s also the turnovers. These are the things we’re going to have to improve. If we turn over the puck like we’ve been doing this year, it’s obvious that we’re going to spend a lot of time in our end.”

Ez alapján az az érzésem, hogy nem teljesen látja mi a probléma. Abból indul ki hogy mit csinálunk ha nincsen nálunk a korong, nem abból hogy eleve nagyon keveset van nálunk. Nem tetszik.
