ELMONT, NY–
We’re in our building. We need to play better than this. We all know that. Our guys are smart. They know that. Our fans deserve better than what we’ve been showing. These are big games, and you have to find ways to win those games.
I feel like it’s been like this for a while. We always have some moments where, mentally, we’re making mistakes or bad coverage or call it as you wish, and it hurts us at the wrong time. We need to find a way to get that mental side of the game in the right place. You cannot have moments like this in a game. It won’t work. You won’t win those games. It’s very difficult.
You might not have your best legs, but you have to make sure you’re sharp mentally and make sure you’re engaged and find other ways. Whether that’s just making sure pucks get out, or whatever it might be, you just have to find other ways to be engaged.
I don’t have the answers for it. If I did, we’d be able to solve it.
