anybody beat good team
I don't want to say that we have their number, ... They're a good team and they can beat anybody any night.
found past quick start ways
In the past we've found ways to win. And we have to start doing that real quick here.
both business coming hockey hopes might signed surprised teams work
In the NHL these days, you don't get surprised by too much. When we went and got Cory Stillman , you could kind of see it coming that something might not work out. We still had hopes that they would get both of them signed -- that would've been really good. That's the business of hockey right now, and other teams go through the same thing every year.
deal facing game sounds sure team wide
I know this sounds like a cliche, but we've got to keep it simple. We've got to play an up-and-down game and make sure that we're going north/south. I know that the team we're facing is going to try to go wide on us, but we're just going to have to deal with that.
bad control doom figure forget game hockey people power third until work
I know people are going to think it's all doom and gloom, two bad losses, but we shouldn't be down 2-1 going into the third period. Forget about the third period, we shouldn't have been down, but that's the way hockey is, unfortunately. But we have to try to come to work and figure out how to take control of the game with that power play and until we do that it's going to be a dogfight every night.
game goal good grab help hold johnny time tonight
The goal deflated us, but we didn't grab a hold of ourselves; we went the other way and it snowballed on us. It's a time of the game where we have to help Johnny out and get back in the game, and we didn't do that tonight and that's why it went that way. It's not good enough right now.
hard proven start win
The hard part for us was getting in. We feel now we can start over here and try to do something. We have proven we can win in the playoffs.
atmosphere cool guys tampa
The guys are all back here in Tampa and we're real excited, ... The city's been unbelievable, very enthusiastic. It's pretty cool to see, the atmosphere hasn't changed.

You can release all the oil you want from the SPR, but to make gas, you need refineries.
