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.
best dare maybe offense pay playing puck respecting scoring teams
Sometimes offense is the best defense. Like I said, I think we're playing with the puck a lot more, and I think because we're scoring so many goals, I think teams are respecting us and they don't dare to go on the offense as much as maybe they did before because they know we are going to make them pay if they make a mistake.
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.
confidence great playing
Ray's been playing great for us and we have a lot of confidence in him.
confidence great job lacking missing night playing start struggling sure team
Right now, I think we're playing a team that's struggling and lacking confidence big time, and missing some guys. With the start we got it kind of made them feel like it was going to be a long night and we made sure we didn't let up on anything. We did a great job all night.
breaks good happen plays team tonight
When the team plays well, good things happen for the individuals as well. I got some good breaks tonight and was able to put them away.
goals happen period played seemed took waiting
They played well in the first period and got up 2-0 on us. We scored some big short-handed goals that really got us going. It seemed like we were waiting for something to happen and when it did, we took over.
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.
enjoy everybody experience fresh great last might older olympic opportunity playoff race start starts tournament
It's a fresh start for him. He doesn't have to think about the playoff race or anything. Everybody starts at zero. It's a great opportunity for us. We're getting older and it might be our last big tournament for our country. I think he's just going to enjoy the Olympic experience and make the most of the opportunity.
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.
bad caught ourselves playing puck turning
We started off not bad in the first but after that I don't know what we were doing. We kind of started playing by ourselves ... and we got caught turning the puck over way too many times and couldn't really find our game.
