everybody gets physical
To see him go out there and be physical like that, being a little guy, that gets everybody up.
full hockey late minutes played playing start
We've been playing better hockey of late at home. It's been a lot better than it was at the start of the year. We've been more consistent. We still haven't played a lot of full 60 minutes yet, but we're going to keep working on that.
chance hurt plays power
We had a chance to go up 2-0 or even 3-0 with some power plays and we couldn't do it -- that really hurt us.
fix
It's scarier up around the eyes. The mouth, at least, you can fix it.
couple head obvious saves saw shake
It's pretty obvious why we didn't get two points. I saw some saves out there that you just shake your head at. He made a couple on me that were ridiculous.
dug floating last ourselves three trying
It's desperation. We know we've dug ourselves a pretty big hole. We weren't trying to get out of it. We were just floating along. The last three games, for sure, were a big step.
achievement franchise huge step win
It's huge to win the division. It's another step for this franchise and another important accomplishment.

It's huge to get that extra point. We don't care what other teams are doing. That's just like a regular two points for us. It's a win. No other way to put it. With 29 games left, we gained a point (on Toronto) and moved up two points on the teams ahead of us.
nice rust year
It's nice to know that there is not too much rust after a year off,
coaching great gretzky guess guy guys hard held highly mentioned players regard rewarded special success
It's special to even be mentioned with such great players. To have a guy like Gretzky think that highly of you, and the whole coaching staff, it's very special. I guess you get rewarded for success and hard work. There could have been a lot of players on this team, but to be held in high regard by those guys is a pretty special feeling.
challenge lost marty mathematics rocket science
Everybody's doing the math, it's not rocket science to see what it means. ? We've already lost Nikolai Khabibulin and now it's going to be a big challenge to get Marty signed.
hearing hold puck sick talented talking win
It shouldn't be like this. We know what to do and what to do to make it happen. We are all sick of hearing about it and talking about it. We have to do it. We have to win the battles. We are talented enough to win the puck and hold the puck.
anxious happy
It's been an anxious time, for sure, and they're all very happy and very proud.
finally hopefully start
It's been one of those years. We feel now that finally we got in, we can start over here hopefully and try to do something.
