definitely focus
We'll be fine. We know what is at stake. The focus definitely will be there. We know how important this is.
definitely five forget four history hopefully obviously owned past period pressure team win
I definitely think we are going into this one as an underdog. They have pretty much owned us the past four or five years. There is a lot of pressure on that team to win over there and I think we play better when we are the underdogs. Hopefully we can go there and forget history, and obviously they have history on their side. That first game, that first period is going to be huge.
enjoy
We're going to enjoy this for as long as we can.
avoided couple defensive goal mistakes shot worst
Our first goal is on the worst shot of the night. But we could have avoided making a couple of mistakes in our defensive zone.
pressure
Ottawa. Wow. They've had our number. ... But there'll be pressure on them.
aggressive counting cup few maybe next passive people picked playoffs tweak won year
Some people are probably already counting us out, maybe not even picked us to make the playoffs next year, who knows. I think we need to tweak a few things here and there. The thing that won us a Cup two years ago was just how aggressive we played. I think at times this year we were just passive in our play.
guys seen situations team though
We are the champions. We should feel comfortable going in that we've seen situations that some of their guys haven't, even though they are the better team this year. But I think we play better as the underdog, so if we are, it will be to our advantage.
confidence direction hopefully needed putting start step string wins
We needed some confidence here and hopefully this is a step in the right direction and let's start putting a string of wins together.
chance feels giving hard keeping ourselves playing sounds
It sounds simple, but we're just working hard. It feels like we're working hard and giving ourselves a chance and the goalies are playing really well and keeping us in the game.
change difference state trying white
I'm not going to change anything at the state level. I'm not going to change things at the White House. But I'm trying to make a difference in my own community.
cushion earlier nice rest time
I want to get back out there, especially this time of year. This is where, unfortunately, if we had a nice cushion we could rest some guys. We didn't get it done earlier in the season, so ...
against believe couple cup everybody good guys huge last monkey playoff point road seen stanley sudden sure tough win
Everybody was pretty sure we were done, there was probably no point in even going out. We really do believe in ourselves. A couple of years ago this was not a playoff team. We weren't even on the road map, then all of a sudden we are Stanley Cup champions. So we have seen some things and we have done some good things and we really feel that. We just need to get that monkey off our back with these guys. It's been tough against these guys in the last little while. That's a huge win for us.
best both games last playing three
The last three games have pretty much been his best three games all year. I think both of us are playing pretty well together. We're clicking.
excited slowly
It went in very, very slowly ... it was slow motion. I'm pretty excited it went in.
