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.
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.
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.
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.
biggest game great obviously tone year
This is a great opportunity. We don't want to have to go back to Florida. We obviously know that this is the biggest game of the year for us and we want to go out there and set the tone right away.
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.
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.
confidence finding
Right now, we've got a lot of confidence and we're finding each other on the ice.
confidence great playing
Ray's been playing great for us and we have a lot of confidence in him.
call conference everybody feels players support sure ted vote
Ted wanted this vote to make sure everybody was on board. He had the support of the players on the conference call (Monday), but he thought we should have the vote so that everybody feels comfortable with him.
