Jaromir Jagrbomb showed up to the desk looking pretty nervous and disappointed ahead of the upcoming matchup against Philadelphia.

"I think our regular season was pretty disappointing, and just barely making the playoffs is not what we intended to do this season. We're not yet a true top team in the league, so facing the conference winner Philadelphia is a huge challenge for us. It's pretty obvious that we need to step up and play at a completely new level if we want to advance from this series", Jagrbomb says.

Despite scoring a respectable 25 goals as a defenseman, he is not satisfied with his individual effort.

"I managed to score a nice amount of goals, but it does not help if the team is not doing well. My defensive game was not as strong this season as I would have wanted it to be, so that is something that I will need to improve in before next season. Now that we're getting at least a taste of playoff hockey, it will be a a great test for us to see where we are and what we all need to get better at", Jagrbomb says.
