front goal hit knew tee tried typical
Typical goal of mine, just going to the net. I knew Dion was going to tee it up, I just tried to get in front of Turco and it hit me and went in.

That was probably the closest thing to a playoff game all year.

That was definitely the turning point in the game. We got into some penalty trouble early there and they got one but we didn't let it get us down. We kept going.

What we've worked so hard for all year is for this.

We've put ourselves in a good position and we've got to take advantage of it.
couple guys head low puck shoot shots tend worry
We've got a couple of guys who shoot the puck like that, too. You can't really think about that. Those guys keep it low all the time. As long as it's low -- the head shots you tend to worry about.
ahead came control ended goal iggy moved talked time
We didn't have a lot of time on the power-play so we didn't want to take it back and take our time, we wanted to get it in there. We talked about it before the draw, just to go ahead with it. We ended up getting control of it right away and I moved it over to Iggy and he came back to me and we got a goal out of it.
battle hopefully pay year
That's why you battle all year for this. Hopefully it will pay off for us.
best excuse game hard
That's just the way it goes. You can't look at that and try to make an excuse. It's just the way it's been. It comes down to one game and we've got to come out hard and play our best game.
This is for first place, if you can't get up for that, you shouldn't be playing.

Recently in the last month or so, offensively we've seemed to find a groove and we've been better. We've finally got something going and we just want to keep it going and contribute.

Our little one doesn't really like to travel, so going to Mexico would be a little tough. It'll be nice to have some time off.

He was unbelievable again, you can't say enough about him. He came up huge time and time again and that's what we needed because they're a good offensive team with great speed up front and they're hard to contain.
confidence huge nice saves timely
Some of the saves he made were very timely saves and that's huge for us. It's nice having the confidence with him back there.
