break schedule
When you're hot, you want to keep playing. You don't want to have the kind of break in the schedule that we just had.
confident known ray
We've known for a while that Ray is going to be the guy. We're confident with Ray.
backs challenge desperate great playing pull wall win
We have to look at this as a great challenge for us because they're going to be playing pretty desperate hockey. They've got their backs to the wall and they have to win. This would be a big win for us if we're able to pull it off.
chasing good
That's the way it is in this building. They're a good team. If you're not 100% ready, they'll have you chasing the puck. That's what happened.
black changed game wore
I wore black all game and just changed to an old one at the end. I'm superstitious more about not being superstitious.
camp heard hockey last
I think I'd never heard of him before camp this year, really, because there wasn't any (NHL) hockey last year.
break puck supporting turning
We couldn't even break out of our own end. We weren't supporting each other at all and we were turning the puck over way too many times.
ray stretch
I think this stretch has been really important. Not just for Ray but the team, as well.
chance group last test tough trying
We know this could be the last chance for this group to play together. We're trying not to think too much about it or make much of it. This is going to be a tough test for us.
against games good strong tough year
We know they're going to be a tough test. They're a strong team, they've got a lot of speed. We've had tough games against them all year and this should be a good series.
almost defensive lead minutes protect switch third three tough tried turn
We get the lead three minutes into the third and it's almost like we tried to protect it too much, that we were in too defensive of a mode. It's tough to turn the switch back on.
best decisions interest past players
We made decisions in the past that were in the best interest of all the players in the union, not for ourselves, that's for sure,
best break buffalo build came confidence played playing since team test
We know that we have been playing well since the break and Buffalo has probably been the best team we have played in a while. We know that it was a big test for us and we came out on top. It is going to build our confidence even more.
cost simple tried
We've got to play smarter, there's no question. We tried to keep it simple in our own end and when we didn't, it cost us right away.
