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.
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.
confident guys matter roll
I'm pretty confident in myself, especially with the guys here. It's just a matter of ... getting on a roll and just keep going.
cheesy counting maybe people rather received retire shoot
It was a cheesy goal. Someone else should have received it. I don't even like counting one like that as a goal. I'd much rather shoot one and saucer it down and in. Maybe when I retire I can tell people that's how it happened.
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.
cut game hockey playing playoff
We say every game that we have to cut back on penalties, but we'll be out if we do it again. Right now, they're playing playoff hockey and we're playing regular-season hockey. It's not enough.
build felt kept pressure
Down one goal, we felt like we had a chance. We kept the pressure on. That's a little something to build on.
played
We wanted this one going home. We played them well.
games guys next
We want to get the next one. We can't let these guys get two games up on us.
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.
forward looked
I've looked forward to this my whole life. This is what it's all about.
