This could be a good thing for us.
They're tight games. I thought tonight we had the better chances.
I thought we gained a lot of experience. I was surprised by how we kept our composure.
I think we're sitting in a good position. I don't think we have a team right now to win the Stanley Cup, to be honest with you, but we have a lot of room under the salary cap, and we can make some moves.
I saw Jochen coming down the side board, I was on the inside and I slid back door and realized nobody took me. When I saw he had the step on the guy, I was hoping he'd see me. When it (the pass) came my eyes were pretty big.
He's a little bit of a disturber out there. He's got that edge.
Hopefully this is a big confidence-builder and keeps us going in the right direction.
We have to believe in what the organization has planned. They believed in the players we have here. They had a plan the last few years with what they were building. Not too many people believed they were right, but it's paying off now. You have to believe in them that they're going to make the right call.
For us, Ottawa has always been the team to beat. Not only in our division or in our conference, but in the entire NHL.
For us it wasn't so much about winning or losing. It's about showing up and proving to ourselves that we belong with the best team in the NHL. We show up with no effort by so many guys, that's just embarrassing. I don't know how to explain it, but there's definitely an issue here that we'll have to resolve before the playoffs start.
For us, it's the road to proving that we belong in the playoffs, that we can play with the best teams. We did really well the last time we played Ottawa, and now it's the next challenge. It's to prove that can play very well in Ottawa as well.
It's not about one or two lines or one or two players on this team. There's something special here.
I have no problem looking at the standings when we walk in the door. But before making comments like that you should look at yourself in the mirror and look where you're standing and why you're losing all those games.
I never saw him. It was careless on my part, but it wasn't on purpose. Sometimes that's going to happen.
