except remember stretch
I don't remember any stretch like that except in the playoffs. We just know we can't take them lightly.

You almost have to keep up the pace of winning. It's tight right through the conference. We need to win five out of six games every two weeks.
bad couple imagine rolling saves sean wants
Obviously, I would imagine he wants some of those back, and that's just the way it goes. I imagine Sean Burke wants a couple back, too. He makes big saves when we need him to, and hopefully, we'll get back rolling and we won't give up some bad goals.
building nice opportunity won
The opportunity was to go to a young, up-and-coming team, ... It's always nice to come back and say this is the building I won in. I have my Cup, my ring, my memory. I can live off that.

We come to the rink and expect to win every night, and that's what we've done all year. It's more than proving people wrong, it's proving ourselves right, that we are a good team.

coming confidence couple excuse game games good happens last per played time
It's a big game for us, and they're going to have confidence coming into our building. The last time we played them, we were flat. It happens once in a while, but there's no excuse for it. If you can have only a couple of games like that per season, you'll probably be in good shape. But it doesn't feel good when it happens.
great moved played team time
It's a different feeling, that's for sure, ... I played on a great team and I had a great time here, but I've moved on.

Whether we're up a goal or down a goal, we kept coming. It goes to show you what our team is made of.

When we come to the rink we're having fun, but we also expect to win, ... That's a great mentality to have.
adjusted listened moved puck skated
We adjusted quickly, ... We listened well when the refs told us what they were going to call. I thought we moved the puck well and skated well.
