More so when I was playing defense in the minors, I'd make a pass up the ice and go off and change. I'd be sitting on the bench and they'd get the goal. They'd review it and you'd hear you got an assist and you were sitting on the bench. It can happen.
Obviously we want to put some wins together, but really it's more important that we start playing well again. Out of our last four games, at least that was a better effort. We played a really solid game against one of the really good teams in the league.
You know it's all around the league right now ? the Predators are playing teams that are not in the playoffs. They should walk in. Honestly, sometimes those are as hard as games against teams you're battling for playoff spots.
When we were in our infancy and playing great teams, we always somehow got a win out of them.
If the owners are playing a high-stakes game of chicken, they'd be better off playing it with anybody else in the world besides hockey players. Because of all sports, we're probably the most stubborn, pig-headed players.
I just want to get back in and back up to speed. Maybe I won't be there right away, but after playing the last 10 games or so, I'd definitely expect to be 100 percent for the playoffs.
