Breaking the losing streak

| | Comments (1) |

The Kings enter tomorrow night's game on a four-game losing streak (one came in a shootout), the first extended negative streak of the season. Terry Murray talked about the need to break out of it, and how he feels the Kings will accomplish it...

MURRAY: ``It's always difficult when you lose. You don't like to lose. Our intentions are to go out and win every hockey game, and now (the losing streak) is at four. What we, as coaches, are trying to do, and are doing, is emphasizing the positives of how we're playing. There's good stuff that's happening, that is laying a foundation for this hockey club in the future, meaning the next game, and we're trying to come back with that immediate feedback, so that the young guys can go away at the end of the night feeling good about how they performed. That's going to translate into good things later on. I'm sure about that. We're going to figure this out. It's close, and we're going to get some wins and get ourselves on a roll and get right back on top of things. That's our approach. It has worked in the past on teams that I've been on, and I'm hoping it will continue to work as we move through the season here with this team.''

We have played pretty well, we just havent finished our scoring chances. The last game had some great effort and TM is right about focusing on those positives. Like mentioned before, we played good enough to win but made a couple mistakes that cost us the points.

Our goal tending has not been stellar as we have run into a couple hot goalies. I believe Ersberg should get a chance, but Labs is def an improvement over Cluts!
