great
Hopefully, we can play one more great game.
games good sure today
He didn't say too much. I'm not sure why he didn't play today but I'm sure with the back-to-back games ... it's good for us just to have him around.
happen pressure takes
He can make things happen from nothing and from nowhere. He takes pressure off guys.
looks shape stronger
He is in much better shape overall. He's a lot stronger ... he looks good.
faster looks
He looks a lot faster and a lot more confident,
brings energy enjoys fun guy loves practicing
He loves the game. He loves practicing and he's a fun guy to be around. He brings a lot of energy when he comes to the rink. You can see that he enjoys it.
advantage chance gave nice ourselves passing power took win
We took advantage of (a) power play we had at 5-on-3 and gave ourselves a chance to win with the nice passing play.
best keys missed obviously power
When he was out, you could really tell how much we missed him. He's one of the best defensemen in the world, I think, and probably very underrated. He jump-starts a lot of our offense, not just our power play, but obviously he's one of the keys on our power play as well.
games
Some games will have more chances, more goals. It's as long as we get the W (that matters).
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.
affect betting black game hockey integrity mark obviously until
The integrity of the game is obviously very important. And betting on hockey is obviously something we don't want. Until you know all the facts, you don't know how it's going to affect the game or put a black mark on it.
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.
happy
I'm happy it was Fisher, ... because he's pretty good-looking.
ray
If Ray doesn't play as well as he did in the first period, we're down more than a goal.
