There's so much emphasis placed on the last time you did that, but we don't think about that at all. The regular season is to earn your spot and tell yourself whether you're good enough to compete in there or not, and we feel like we've earned that confidence.

This organization came in and formed its own identity. Time goes on. People identify with this team more than hanging on to the North Stars' past.

This is the first time really that all of the entities have had a say in it. It's a partnership within the game, and ultimately we can say that at the end of the day, we're doing what's best for the game.
credit defensive deserves dictates equation front good great guy last line marty numbers performance played team time year
I thought our team played a very good team defensive game. Hatcher had a great year and we played very well in front of Marty, but you can't get numbers like that without having an unbelievable performance from your goaltender. Marty deserves a lot of credit for that. He's the guy who a lot of time dictates a lot of the equation as the last line of defense.
against capitalize chances fluke games gone gotten played teams timely
I think we've gotten some timely goals, and the pucks have gone in for us. I don't know, I think we've played better games against other teams and not scored as many. I think it's a fluke thing that we've been able to capitalize on as many chances as we have.

bite couple decisions forward four games last looked next nobody time win won
The last couple games, we have made decisions that have come back to bite us. You have to look forward to the next game. You have to win four games to win a series, and the last time I looked nobody has won four yet.
follow good grind hit people plays puck seemed
The puck seemed to follow him around. He was always on the puck and making good plays. He's not going to hit a lot of people or grind you up. But he makes good plays under pressure.
good nice period rewarded team third together wrapped
We got rewarded for the good things we've been doing. It was nice to see the team come together a little bit. The third period kind of wrapped it all up.
