"We're not happy with it, but we're so close."
Pascal Vincent said on the show that he feels they're close, and that last night's game against the Pens was "hard to swallow." He also goes on to say that in the games they've lost, there are "big chunks of the games that we do it right, and we play the right way at the right pace."
Vincent also mentions that "we make those costly mistakes, and they're individual mistakes that are costing us big time and we need to clean that up."
Losers of six straight and 10 of 11 games, everyone from the team to the fans are frustrated. You can tell in Vincent's post-game from last night that he seemed a bit more subdued than normal. But he's staying positive and trying to keep his team positive as well. This stretch of games was never going to be easy for the Jackets, but they've played some competitive games, and as Coach Vincent said "This could easily be six in a row the other way."
