bad early half season sliding teams
I said early on, we were going to have our bad times and we were going to have our streaks. Right now, there are teams sliding and streaking, and we?re streaking. And there?s still a half season to go. Hey, you never know.
basic early playing simple year
We're playing simple hockey, we're playing basic hockey. Early in the year we would press.
came early last sure time
I came back too early the last time so I just wanted to make sure I was ready.
classy definitely fun juice move
It was a classy move by them. It was fun being back. I was excited, boy. I definitely had a lot of juice in me.
bring chance character night win
They (Calgary) come out every night and bring it. If we come with that character every night we will have a chance to win every night.
everybody room
Everybody in that room is disappointed right now. That's just the way it is.
forget lead obviously pressure tonight
There's obviously pressure for us to be there. When they got the lead tonight we were tentative, it's like it was in our nerves. We have to forget about that and regroup.
front lucky somebody whacked
Somebody was in front and made the defenseman concentrate on someone else, ... I just whacked at it and it went in. I was a little lucky there.
canada huge people
Obviously, this hurts. It?s a huge letdown. For people in Canada, if we?re not there in the final, we?re not a success.
again blue care cost job knew obviously olympics ready stay top
Obviously my first job is being ready for the Blue Jackets, and I knew if I got dinged again with the Olympics approaching it could cost me. So that's obviously in the back of your mind. You just want to take care of it and stay on top of it.
feels good
It?s good for you. It feels good. Once in a while.
grow
It's OK. We've got a lot of young guys. We'll grow together. We'll see what we can do.
anyone behind closer good score sure
It was closer than the score indicated and we just wanted to make sure that we didn't let anyone behind us, and we did a good job, especially in the first.
game played playoff
They (the Wings) played a playoff game tonight. They were gritty.
