confidence far game looking night rest team win
The way we're feeling, the confidence that we have in each other, we know we can win every night and every game. The rest of the season, it's win each game. We're not looking to look too far ahead. Now it's just one game at a time, one team at a time.
attitude everybody hope prove rest team
We want to prove that we're not the team that we just showed. I hope that's with everybody on our team. If we use that attitude the rest of the season, I think we'll have success.
best far hopefully knew pad short
I knew I had the short side, so all they had was the far side. Hopefully if it was any closer, hopefully I would've got a pad on it. Posts are your best friends, and I got one (Saturday).
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.
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.
shut
We shut them down as a team, I don't think it was any one person that did anything that special.
guys spent
We've got a lot of hard-working guys. We've got guys who have, for the first time, spent their winters working hard.
andy doubles great hands phenomenal strong
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.
anybody mission stopped
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.
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.
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.
benefit looking point start teach understand view
You start to understand why you do things. You're not looking at things just from a point of view where, 'I have to do this.' It's, 'OK, this actually works.' If you teach it the right way, it'll benefit you in the end.

Posts are your best friends, and sure I got one tonight.
