bald front guy head seen
I want to play well in front of the fans. They've just seen this guy with the bald head on the end of the bench. They probably don't know if I can play or not.
When it was all over, it was a pretty big relief.
next ready stop
You'd like to stop them all, but sometimes there's not much you can do. You just have to get ready for the next opportunity.
pieces
The more pieces you have to a process, the more expensive.
bad goal third
That was a bad goal in the third and I can't do that. I went down and it just got right through me. I don't know how it got through.
gives guys home playoff spot team winning
That's kind of cool, but the other guys had a lot to do with it, too. I feel good, and when you're winning and securing a playoff spot and home ice, that gives the whole team confidence.
carried
There were times when he just carried us.
hockey played playing playoff regular season
I thought that we played regular season hockey to that point. They've been playing playoff hockey, and we said, 'You know what? We've got nothing to lose.
chance five four good help job saves team though time turn
I think that's the first time in about four or five years I've let in five goals. I've got to do a better job to give the team a chance to win. Even though there were some good shots, those can be the kind of saves that help your team turn things around.
afford against backs
Our backs are against the wall. We can't afford to (mess) up anymore. This is it for us.
general happy people schools wrap
Some people are happy at these schools and some aren't. We think these things are about general feel, and as much as you try to wrap it up in a statistical guide, you can't.
chance early extremely huge needed tough
It was huge ? we really needed that win. We know they're extremely tough in their own building, just like we are. So every chance we get for an early win, we've got to take it.
contain style tight top win
They've probably got some of the top forwards in the game. We've just got to contain them. We have to play a grinding, hard, tight style and show that we can win the one-goal games.
coming mentally pressure questions stuff trying
Not physically, just mentally and all the pressure and all the questions coming in and the thoughts, trying to get all the stuff out of my head. It was tough. The first game's out of the way.
