ask games guys hours job marty rest senators tired top
Let's be honest, you don't want to go down two games to the Senators and we just had to give it our all. We're pretty tired right now but we're going to have 48 hours to rest up. Our top guys did the job tonight. (Richards) had a big goal, Marty got a big goal, that's all you can ask from those guys.
game last point together turning whatever year
We just haven't put it together this year for whatever reason. And that was the turning point in the game last night.
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.
benefit changes game good guys handle pieces
They're big pieces of our team. The changes in the game are going to benefit guys like that who can handle the puck. They're good for our team.
asked confidence game power scale
You want to have a game plan, but you need to see what they give us. We need that big power play goal. On a scale of 10, if you asked what our confidence is on the power play, you won't get a lot of eights, nines or 10s.
chance ourselves
We were embarrassed at home, embarrassed for ourselves and embarrassed for the fans. Now we have a chance to feel better about ourselves.
ourselves proved situation sure
We let it get away for sure and we've been in that situation before. We proved to ourselves that we can play with them.
counts downs goal rest saves score ups
If they score a goal there, it's a different game. That's what you want from your goalie. They are going to have ups and downs just like the rest of the team, but you want them to make the saves when it counts and he did that tonight.
canada history honor night ready team trying worrying
Obviously, (it would be) an honor to play for Team Canada. There's a lot of history there and I'd be ready to go. But it's out of my hands. I'm just trying to play well every night and not really worrying about it.
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.
pressure
Ottawa. Wow. They've had our number. ... But there'll be pressure on them.
ahead beat catch early playing points seven start team thinking tough
I don't think (it's too early to start thinking about the standings). It's a team we've got to beat and they're seven points ahead of us now. If they're going to keep playing the way they are, it will be very tough to catch them.
enjoy
We're going to enjoy this for as long as we can.
definitely focus
We'll be fine. We know what is at stake. The focus definitely will be there. We know how important this is.
