Since then, I feel like I've played much better," Fedotenko said. "I think was more sit back and kind of look at what I didn't do,Nike Free 5.0 Orange, and I feel like in my mind, I was a little too conservative. I was focused on my defensive priority too much and not really offensively at all. I sat back and looked at the videos. From the outside, it's a little easier to evaluate. In the game, you feel like you're working hard, doing all the right things. But you're not accomplishing what you want to do."In his second game after the benching,Nike Free 5.0 Women, Fedotenko scored the winner against the Minnesota Wild. He had a goal and three assists in his final seven games of the regular season and has carried that momentum into the postseason.Fedotenko raising his game in the postseason is nothing new from Tortorella's perspective."He's done it last year and the beginning of this year," Tortorella said. "He did it for me in Tampa. To me, it's a mental thing. I thought he was playing brutal toward the end of the year. He's just found his way here to ramp his game up."Fedotenko said the arrival of the postseason has helped him pick up his game."Of course, you don't want to dog it during the season, but I feel like it's just trying to elevate your game or play better or play without hesitation going toward the playoffs," Fedotenko said. "You want to ride that wave and perform the best you can do in the playoffs because it's basically a do-or-die situation. I think that's what's exciting for fans and exciting for players. The game gets that more exciting."Brandon Prust has been on a line with Fedotenko and Brian Boyle the past two games and said Fedotenko is one of the most physically fit players in the League. Fedotenko credits his offseason workout program that begins about a month before training camp that provides him with a "good base for the regular season." Ruslan FedotenkoLeft Wing - NYR
