You can see we're struggling and squeezing our sticks and pressing to make every play. I think we have to stay positive and stay positive with the guys and get them untracked here. We're just shooting ourselves in the foot, whether it's taking a penalty at the wrong time or a bad time, or shots going in off Leo's stick. We can't seem to get many breaks arouond the net. We had chances tonight, 2-on-1s, Kaleigh I think had a breakaway, we had Brandon Naurato on a break-in, Matty Curadeau on a break-in, P.C. Drouin on a break-in, and we're just shooting it right into the goalie. It's tough. The guys are really feeling it, and you can see it in the game. They are frustrated. It's just tough on them right now. We have to get untracked at home.
Guy, P.C., Leo are our older guys, our veteran guys. Leo has a goal. We've got a few points. We need to break out,whether it's Chris Francis breaking out or whoever. I'm mixing the lines in the third period. We tried to stick with our lines that we went with all week the first two, but we've got to try something. We tried Mathieu on the left side with Francis, figuring that might click a little bit. We're trying everything to get somebody to put the puck in the net, but it's been tough. Guys get in there, they don't even want to shoot the puck. They're overpassing. We preached to them shoot the puck all week and guys are just squeezing their sticks right now and it's tough on them. I feel bad for them. There's nowhere for us to go but up. It can't get any worse. Maybe another scoreless period. That's still not worse, it would be the same. It just can't get any worse. We have to at some point get a break and maybe score the first goal of the game and get the crowd into it, get them behind us and get us going.
