confident feeling felt good reacting start
The whole start of the year, I felt really good and really confident on my feet. It's a good feeling when you get back to that same feeling on the ice. You're not second-guessing your moves, you're just reacting to the shot. That's the way you've got to play and that's the way you have success.
good shots
They're a good team, getting that many shots on us.
allowed careful good hit ruts sign
That's always a good sign when you're allowed out on the ice. I've just got to be careful to not hit any ruts (in the ice) and not do anything fancy. Just working that way, slowly, should get me back faster.
blocking bodies everybody good guys job putting
The guys did a good job blocking shots. Everybody was putting their bodies on the line.
shut
We shut them down as a team, I don't think it was any one person that did anything that special.

Andy is just a phenomenal leader. Andy is a very strong doubles player. He's got a strong serve. He's got great hands at the net.
came guys page pat ready saying soon
As soon as the guys came in to pat me on the hat, the only thing that they were saying was just, ?One more, one more, one more win. Everybody's on the same page and we're ready to go.

We were on a mission to get there, and I don't think anybody would have stopped us tonight.
You have your expectations and you want to play the same way every game. It's not going to come easily.

We've got a lot of hard-working guys. We've got guys who have, for the first time, spent their winters working hard.

We were walking downtown this morning and people were giving us high fives on the street. A lot of people are watching us and supporting us.
bags body everybody ice putting successful
Everybody was putting their body on the line. I know there will be some ice bags out there. That's what you need to do to be successful in championship-like games.
call feedback friday game guys hopefully tuesday watching yelling
It's going to be different. I've never experienced that. I think I'll be yelling at the screen. I think I'll be yelling at the refs. I think it's just going to be like watching an NHL game on a Tuesday night. I'll be watching and hopefully give some feedback to the guys if they give me a call Friday night.
