both cup game good great guys history hockey job keeping last lost shot special team
We lost some guys from last year, but I think they did a good job of keeping this team intact, and we think we've got another good shot at a Cup here. With Colorado, it's always going to a special game for both teams. There's been such a great history of great hockey between us.
fear front goal knows screening standing unless
He just knows how to play the game. Most times, I'm the one standing in front but if I'm not there, he has no fear of going in there and doing that job. The goal isn't scored unless Steve's screening the goalie.
good hit saves threw
I don't know what else you can do. We just threw everything at him. It's one thing to get hit by pucks, but he was actually making some pretty good saves out there.

I can handle it. I expected it ... that a few players might make it personal with me.

He was down here between periods, talking to guys, observing the game, things like that. Still very much a part of our dressing room.

In a lot of ways we missed the game, but we did our best to take advantage of the time off.

I'm just trying to stay ahead of my age.
counting cups mind missed opportunity people red stanley three window wings won year
I don't mind that people are counting us out. My first year here was 1997 and that's when a lot of people thought the Red Wings had missed their window of opportunity and we won our first of three Stanley Cups together.
future mess past start thinking
In this league, you can never look past opponents. You'll get yourself into trouble. Start thinking about the future, it's going to mess up your present.
betting bowl college football heard sounds stuff super
I haven't heard anything about the betting being on hockey, and that's a very important distinction. It sounds as if it's college football and Super Bowl betting, stuff like that.
enjoyed
I really haven't thought much about it. I've just enjoyed going out there and playing. It's been enjoyable.
definitely game missed sorry taken
I definitely missed the game and I was sorry to see it taken away from us,

I don't think there was anyone on this team that didn't think we'd have to win in Edmonton. The road is a place where we seem to play our best hockey, so it's on to Game 3.
anyone expect games team win
I don't think there was anyone on this team that didn't expect that we were going to have to win games in Edmonton.
