team play goal
When you play teams that are good defensively and teams that have been there with experience, the object is to keep the goals against down.
team player years
It's disappointing being a Canadian and having friends on that team but that's the way it goes. It's the Olympics. It's disappointing for every Canadian but over the years you've seen the parity with all the teams because it's the best players in the world.
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.
aspect carry counts good positive pull push start teams time
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.
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.

The good thing is, of the four times we've played them, we've played them twice (in the last week). They're a team that's coming into the playoffs on a hot streak . . . to solidify a (playoff) position.
bottle drink funnier picked took water
The only thing that would have been funnier is if he picked up a bottle and took a drink of water like nothing happened.
sports gambling people
As far as the gambling debts on there, not one cent was any type of sports betting. It's just something obviously I'm not proud of because it drags a lot of other people into this than I'd want. It's something I'm continuing to deal with.
years nhl work-out
I'm a firm believer that everything in life works out the way it's supposed to. And who knows? I figure I've got a few years left (in the NHL) and maybe I can come back in the end.
hockey talking not-sure
They do a lot of talking, but I'm not sure they actually understand each other.
messing smile upset
Old times. Just messing around. I think he was a little upset so I had to try to put a smile on his face.
games maybe points puts
We're at 73 points now and if in 25 games we can tack on at least 30, maybe 32 or 34, that puts us at 103 to 107. That should be pretty good.
five guys playing six
Guys are always banged up. Guys are always playing with something, if not five or six things. It's just a way of life.
