Dubinsky: “We need to loosen up”

From Michael Obernauer at The Blueshirts Blog:
“It’s interesting what happens when you just play - you get tired of worrying about everything that you do wrong. You just go,” Dubinsky said. “I thought we played loose those last couple games like that, and then in Toronto I thought we maybe got a little bit tight again, because we’d put ourselves right back in the hunt and all of a sudden you’re tighter again. Sometimes if you’re a ways away, you’re just going.”
It would appear that’s how the Leafs (and perhaps the Islanders) are able to play, though Dubinsky said, “I’ve never been in that situation so I can’t speak for how they feel. But I feel like when there’s nothing really to play for because your last game’s going to be the first week in April, they’re just playing for themselves and playing to spoil other people’s chances of making the playoffs.
“We have a lot more on the line, but if we can just loosen it up … not to be tight and be staring at the standings every second of every day and crossing our fingers hoping for things to happen. We’ve got to take care of what’s ours first.”
