alone breakdown complete four reason score whatever win
To be able to score four goals, let alone all power-play goals, should of been enough for us to win and for whatever reason we just had a complete breakdown defensively tonight.
intense step
He's an intense guy. When we step on the ice, we know one way to play.
fun laughed
I know if my head's down, he's going to get me, too. We laughed about it. It was fun just to see those guys.
against anyone ask teams
If you ask anyone in here or on most of the teams that play against him out in the West, he should be on the roster. He shouldn't be a replacement or a sub. He should be playing.
ahead goals knew playoff quarter
I knew I had 20 playoff goals and a quarter of them are game-winners, so I had to get ahead of that.
happens happy hit less mess time
I'm just happy I hit the net. I'm happy I didn't mess that up. When it happens bang-bang like that, you have less time to mess up because you don't have time to think.
best chip deserve guys limelight nice playoffs share step top
The best thing about the playoffs is a lot of the times, different guys get to step up and share the limelight for a night. Your studs and your top guys are going to usually get it as they deserve it most of the time. But it's nice to chip in when you can.

It went quick, it was like a wedding day. It just blew by.

This is the time that counts -- you can really set yourself up. This is when you see teams start to pull away. But you've got to push through a lot of things. But a lot of times, when you play a lot, you can get into a groove. You play so much, the good things carry over. That's the positive aspect of it.
battling couple defense definitely fighting late low performance playoff point pride scoring takes team tying
It's embarrassing, and we're a team that takes pride in our defense and is fighting for first place and a playoff spot. To come in with a performance like that, especially after battling back and scoring late in the first and tying it up, and battling back a couple times in the second, all in all is definitely a low point in the season.
bit game last start weird year
It's a little bit weird having to play them the last game of the year and then start out with them in the playoffs.
bad ball difference game goes good quickly realize regroup slide teams win
It's not like a lull. It's just the way the game is. You're not going to win every game and have a little letdown but the difference between good teams and bad teams is how quickly you get out of it, how quickly you regroup and realize you're in a slide and get back on the ball before it goes on.
gods hockey maybe night supposed
The way the hockey gods work, maybe that was supposed to be his night and my night.
