good help players pop series top
They have good players on their top two lines, a little more pop offensively. They have good speed. We have more depth, and in a seven-game series that could help down the stretch.
discussion meal mentioned team time
We had our team meal one time in Calgary. I mentioned Patrick Roy. They suspended me out of the meal. I swear. We had a discussion about something. I mentioned Patrick Roy.
both ended loose open puck score shot teams
I was open because both teams were changing. The puck was loose and the puck ended up with us. Zetterberg got it and I shot it through the legs. ... We showed so much patience, but we were frustrated, too, for two periods. There were penalties, but you didn't see them score any goals.
brought columbus early legs
We didn't do what we usually do. Columbus had its legs early and they brought it to us.
adversity bit composure leadership
We have the composure and leadership in here to know what we have to do. It's a little bit of adversity that we have to face, we just have to get through it.

Today wasn't as good as I thought I would feel. So hopefully tomorrow I'll feel better.
beat break cycle played wear
It's nothing new to this team, especially having played Minnesota. We just have to break them down on the cycle and get it to the net. That's how you beat the 1-2-2, get it in and wear them down.
determination hard took worked
It's worked out well. It took a lot of hard work and determination to get where I am.
biggest difficult disagree happens hard personally totally

quite
It's just not quite 100 percent. It's getting close.
chip next puck tried
I tried to chip (the puck by him). I'll see him next year.
business good people
There are a lot of good people with the Coyotes, and I have a lot of good friends. But it's all business once I get to the rink.
ability depth four identity last line move pressure roll scoring
We know what our line has to do. You have to be able to take the pressure off the other guys. And you need that depth scoring to move on in the playoffs. That's been our identity pretty much all year. Our depth and our ability to roll four lines, I think it showed last night.
We'll see how he does with the Masters.
