confident good guy happy injured start
Obviously, it would be good to have Dom in there. But he's injured and we're just happy with the way Ray's been playing. He's never been there before, but you've got to start somewhere. We feel very confident in him and he's going to be the guy for us.
guy happiness happy injured net optimum ray
The optimum would be to have him (Hasek) in net but he's injured and we're happy the way Ray has been playing. He's going to be the guy for us.
best easy guy league players replace
It's not easy to replace Hossa. But, if there's one guy to do it, Heatley's one of the best young players in the league and he's a guy to do it.
anymore easier fighting great guys hard holding momentum neutral spirit stop tougher zone
It's great to see a fighting spirit in us and not quitting. It used to be a lot easier holding guys up in the neutral zone and making it a lot tougher for the other guys to come in to fore check. You can't do that anymore so once you get some momentum it's hard to stop it.
guys ice nice
A lot of guys got a lot of ice time. It was nice to see everyone play hard. This was a big win.
couple defense great guys sprung
They sprung a couple of guys once in a while, but we know Dom is there and he's going to make some great saves. Our defense has been overshadowed because we have such a great offense.
guys instead league mindset playing rewarded sitting
I think it's a different mindset this year. You see how the guys are doing it and you see the possibilities. And you're playing more offensively, so I think the mindset is a lot different in the league right now, too. I think you're getting rewarded for going on the offense, instead of sitting back.
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.
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.
fun knew lose rest tried
We tried today, no question. We knew we were in the quarter-finals with not much rest between games, but it's not fun to lose any game.
biggest ready
We were ready to play from the beginning, that's the biggest thing we take from this win.
allowed controlled gave good obviously puck start
We controlled the puck pretty well. We got off to a good start start, and obviously that gave us the win. It put them back on their heels. That allowed us to play a lot smarter.
deep fact forget game half periods played puck second wore
The second half of the game I thought we played really well. We were able to get the puck in deep and we were able to keep them in their end for long periods of time, forget that fact we haven't done a whole lot lately, and we just wore them down, I think.
black near stick switched tape white
I used black tape the whole game, but switched to an old stick that had white near the end.
