advance beer best chance due earn few gotten guys hockey hoping leagues loves minor open pick playing power recent scoring scouting tougher video
I'm hoping for power-play time, but you never know, ... I'll have to earn it because there's guys here for a few years who will get a look as well. Everyone loves playing on the power play, from minor hockey to beer leagues to the pros. The power play is where you can pick up your game. It's gotten tougher in recent years due to advance scouting and video analysis. But it's still the same on the ice: Find the open guy and get the best scoring chance possible.
bit danny faith great hank landed open passing plays room short sure
There was a little bit of room on the short side. I just had to make sure it landed flat. I didn't want to get too excited, but once again, I've got a lot of faith in Danny and Hank's passing ability. I know that once I get open they make great plays and that's what Hank did.
ability attacking bit danny excited faith flat great knew landed open passing puck room short side sure
There was a little bit of room on the short side but I had to make sure that (puck) landed flat and I didn't get too excited with attacking the puck too fast. But I have a lot of faith in Danny and Hank's passing ability and I knew if I could just get open they'd make great plays.
areas great guys hit job lull open playing quiet unless
My job is to get open ... hit the holes, the quiet areas and lull them to sleep. But you can't do that unless you're playing with two guys that are great with the puck.
boring difficult edmonton game knew last lull minnesota night paint sleep watching
After watching Minnesota lull Edmonton to sleep last night we knew it would be a difficult game emotionally. You can't play the score, you have to play like it's going to be 1-0. A boring game just like watching paint dry.
game past trying
I'm trying not to look past Edmonton. The first shift, the first period, that should be our focus. If we look past that game I think we'll be in big trouble.
great nice pass took twins
It was a great play by the twins (Henrik Sedin took a pass from his twin brother, Daniel), ... For me, pretty easy. Just put it in the net. ... A nice little saucer pass right on my stick.

Every game is big for us down the stretch. We've dug ourselves a little bit of a hole, but I think we welcome the challenge.
bed east home playing travel
The travel in the East is a joke. There is no travel in the East. You're home and in bed by 1 o'clock a lot of times after playing a 'road game.

Special teams was huge for us. We worked on the power play a little bit this morning because we realized that was going to be a big focal point in the game, and the special teams battle ended up being what tipped the scales for us tonight.
fun game level shooting
As a player, you take your game to another level when you're in the playoffs. As much fun as I had shooting the spots, it was important for me to show that intensity.
available beauty best canadian contribute fact hoping icing incredible playing slide spot vancouver weather
A spot was available here on the right wing, so I'm hoping I can slide in and contribute as best I can. The fact that I'm playing in a Canadian market, the beauty of Vancouver with its incredible weather and things to do, that's just icing on the cake.
mistake guy next
You can talk so much. The proof is how you compete to the guy next to you and if a guy makes a mistake, you've got to be there to pick him up and not put him down.
jobs people east
People in the East Conference are starting to see how good the twins are. They make my job easy. I just go to the net and look for holes and they keep finding me.
