If you look at the guys that are injured, that's a lot of firepower, a lot of points we're missing. A lot of nights, their talent just takes over and gets you goals. That's why we had to be smarter about not giving up as many chances.
It's definitely different, ... All the mud and the water and the obstacles, it makes you not feel the pain of running. Well, you still feel the pain, but it's more fun.
And we've been getting a lot of quality shots.
It was a great passing game for us,
They're really pushing us, too. They've put up billboards on the freeway. Ads on the backs of taxi cabs. TV and radio commercials. Newspaper and magazine ads all over the country. Things just blew up for us all of a sudden. They're actually trying to make us into real stars.
About half the time we played well. The other half, Elk Grove put the pressure on us. Both teams were unhappy to tie, but both teams played well at times.
It's a short tournament. If you don't have it, you don't have much time to find it.
It's a little sad. I'm proud to have been able to bring something like that to the area. To leave it when it's finally becoming quite popular is a little odd and a little unusual. But it's something that needs to be done. The opportunity that has come about is just way too attractive.
They (the board) saw some great leadership capabilities in him.
(The NHL is) trying to create more excitement around the games u not that we need that (against the Leafs), but it's definitely exciting.
Sometimes our passing was without a purpose. When we did pass with a purpose, we were very good, but not nearly long enough.
Defense was the key to our success, the defense has been solid all year.
It's better already. I should be okay for Game 5.
It's huge. Obviously, I'm the last guy with the big goose egg, and it seemed like it was getting talked about more and more. ... It's nice to not have a zero sitting there.
