believe chance exciting good knowing playoffs teams
We believe we have a good chance this year, and we're going to make the most of it. It's real exciting to be able to be part of the playoffs again, knowing that we're one of the teams that has a chance to go all the way.
great head hope periods short shutting starts tournament
I hope not, but I think he is. In a short tournament like that, goaltending is huge. He's one of those goalies who can get in other people's heads. If he starts shutting you down after two periods you start thinking, and he's really great that way. He can get in your head for sure.
break helped injured knowing olympic playing struggling time
Before the Olympic break he was struggling a little bit, as was the team. I think the break rejuvenated him. Knowing that Dom was injured and he was going to get some playing time helped him relax.
gold learn move nobody
But you learn from it and you move on. Nobody can take this (pointing at his gold medal) away from us, either.
ray
If Ray doesn't play as well as he did in the first period, we're down more than a goal.
close game tie
If you play well, you make your own luck. Obviously, it was close for them to tie the game up, but overall, I thought we were the better team.
game goes good playing tournament
He's our leader. He's playing better and better as the tournament goes on and I think he's got one more good game in him.
boost guys power runs win
He's one of those guys that can win you a game. He runs the power play. It's a big boost for us.
halfway
I don't know if it's a milestone or not but it's halfway to 500 so I'm getting there.
mistakes
I don't know if (the Bolts) wanted it more. We just made too many mistakes and we know we've got to play better as a team.
game goals hard mistakes period road three
We kind of game them two of the three goals in the first period with mistakes we made. It's hard to play on the road that way.
expected happen kicking mistake understand
We kind of expected him to be suspended. Kicking has no part in this game. I understand the suspension. It's tough. Things happen so quick, but you shouldn't kick anyone. I think he realizes his mistake and I don't think you will see him do that again.
close played toronto until
Toronto played well. It was close right until the end.
good start team
We wanted to get off to a good start and this is a team we should beat.
