‘“I think last year we were losing traction and this year we’ve had to gain ground to make the playoffs,” said Miller. “Last year, we were sliding and we managed to hold on to our division but I don’t think we finished with all that impressive of a record. This year, I think we did a better job of working our way into the playoffs because we had to, but I think it’s been playoff mode here for a while so I think we need to just stay the course. We’ve been playing hockey that’s good enough to beat anybody and I think we just have to continue doing that.”’
