How to use power play in a sentence?
It's just a power play on them trying to scare us.
We don't back down from much. There's something to be said for keeping your composure this time of year, if you have to take a punch early in the game like Stu-ee did to get a power-play goal, those are the things that factor into wins.
I think we started good the first five minutes, they got some some power play time, they got into it and we didn’t win enough battles, wall battles to get out of our zone.
We got looks, we spent a lot of time in their zone, i thought we did a pretty good job executing what we wanted to do, we just didn’t get the bounces. We continued to jump on loose pucks and hem them in. ... We weren’t just working the perimeter on the power play. We were getting rubber to the net.
It’s frustrating, the last game was right there for us and so was tonight. They were opportunistic to start, we had a lot of good chances, a lot of good looks and we just have to find ways to put them in the back of the net, get hungrier around the net, and our power play has to start executing better for us and getting us on the board and getting us more momentum.
