accept agreement good hard surprised
I would be very surprised if we were able to get an agreement. We're not going to accept a hard cap, but it's good we're talking.
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.
ahead enjoy far few hard ottawa question
It's hard to think that far ahead right now but once I get back to Ottawa there's no question there's more things that need to be done this year. But I'm going to try and enjoy this for a few days, first.
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.
best difference good hard job neutral overall puck smart
It's a big difference in the standings between us and them. They are working really hard and I thought for the most part we did a good job. You try your best and they do everything to clog it up in the neutral zone. Overall though, I thought we did a pretty good job being smart and getting the puck by them and making them take some penalties.
fun hard knew lose ready time tonight tried
We tried hard today, there's no question. We knew there's not a lot of time between tonight and tomorrow. It's not fun to lose anytime, but we have to be ready for tomorrow.
chances goal hard obviously played team tries works
They are a young team that works really hard and tries to be a spoiler. We played well and had our chances and the first goal was going to be big obviously and it didn't go our way.
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.
confidence
Things are going well, you know, and confidence is a big thing.
best few knows last quite tournament
There's quite a few of us that are a little over 30 and who knows this may be our last big tournament together, we want to make the best out of it.
