definitely feeling fun good win
It was pretty fun to win those two games. It was a good feeling in the room. It's definitely something we'd like to keep going.
figure force hurts ice points puck rocket scientist team
Do the math. Look at the points he's accumulated for this team and the force he is on the ice when he has the puck and is moving. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that it hurts us pretty good.
chance definitely gave win
Fleury definitely gave us a chance to win the game. He made a lot of big saves.
knows league ottawa stay team
Every team in this league knows that when you play the Ottawa Senators, you have to stay out of the box.
capable guys score
You look around the room, we have some pretty capable players. Guys who score goals. It's not like we're not getting our chances.
attention controls crazy gets guys league paying players puck special top watch
The way he controls the puck and the way he controls the play, you see a lot of guys around the league paying attention to him -- and that's crazy for me, to look at him being an 18-year-old kid. When he gets that puck, he makes things happen. It's pretty special to watch him play the way he does. When he's at the top of his game, he's up there with the top players in the league.
battle chances cleared few goal good job second settled style
That's what they do. They got that goal then they settled down into their style of play. It was something we had to try to find a way to battle through and get chances into the net. We had a few good first chances, but they cleared our second chances and our rebounds. We had to do a better job of getting to the net.
hundred points
A hundred points is huge, huge, especially for an 18-year-old. It's unbelievable.
blowing definitely game good help hope hundred maybe mind points putting shows sounds stay
One hundred points is huge, huge, especially for an 18-year-old in this league. That's pretty unbelievable. It's definitely something I want to help him achieve. Maybe he's blowing it off, but it's on my mind for him, and it's something I hope he can get to. But I think he's just going to play his game. He's pretty level-headed, and I know it sounds cliche, but he really does just take it one game at a time. And that's good on his part just to stay focused. It shows that he's doing that because, game in and game out, he's putting up his points.
dream hundred imagine people
One hundred points? At 18? This kid's doing something most people can't imagine or dream of.
adapting expected playing practice top willing work
I feel like I'm adapting well. It's not something I expected or thought would happen, but it's something I'm willing to work at, something I want to do. I just have to work my butt off every day in practice and in games, keep playing at the top of my game.
break bury definitely few guys
We definitely had our chances. We bury a few of those chances, and it's a different game. Get a little break from the guys upstairs, and it's a different game. But we had our chances.
belong best camp hard playing training wants
It's like training camp again. Everyone wants to be playing their best now and working hard to show we belong here.
character good next positive
It was good that we were able to come back and get a point, but there's not much else to say. We got a point, and we have to just take that as a positive and go to the next game. I think we showed some character in the end.
