"In the end, that is the way we have to play. There were a lot of good things in the game. We can clean up a few things, mistakes that were unnecessary, but in the end, if we play like that, we will win a lot of games."
"We can't worry about that or look at that,"
"We just have to focus on the next game. You can't start looking at how many games are left. You are putting yourself in a bad spot. We have to go to Vancouver and get two points. That is what we should be focused on. Nothing else."
"I get it about the standings and where we are at with the games left, but it is not going to accomplish anything. The goals need to be small right now. We need to focus game-to-game here and try to take care of our business the best we can."
Toronto lost 5-2 to Seattle, falling 10 points behind the second Eastern Conference wild-card spot and likely to miss the playoffs. The team outshot Seattle 31-22 but suffered from porous rush defence and another poor start from goalie Anthony Stolarz. Nick Robertson scored and drew a penalty and was a rare positive. Head coach Craig Berube emphasized a game-by-game focus and small goals, urging the team to concentrate on the upcoming game in Vancouver. Toronto will practice Friday before facing the league-worst Canucks. Berube and general manager Brad Treliving face mounting scrutiny if the losing continues.
