far hard hit hoping stick three took wall
So far so good. I took the stick in the face, hit the wall pretty hard and got cross-checked. I'm hoping that's my three right there.
anyone heard looking send sure sympathy wished
I haven't heard anything from him or Pittsburgh's organization, but I'm not looking to anyone to send any sympathy my way. It's a game, it happened, and I'm sure everyone wished it hadn't, but that's the way it goes.
confidence half knew roaring saw season
Once he got that first one, we knew all that confidence we saw in the first half of the season would come roaring back.
highlights hope rather talk
I'd rather really not talk too much about it. All you can do is hope it doesn't get too many highlights and it doesn't get out there too much.
character confidence game guys line
I don't think we feel like we're ever out of a game. We have the confidence and the character guys that can get things done when the game is on the line and it's been a different guy every time.
dish rub
I'm going to try to rub some other guys, see if I can dish it off.
bad giving guys ice league start
The ice was terrible. The league should start giving out fines, that's how bad the ice is. Guys are going to get hurt.
bad break consequences finish games good handed hit league lunch move sounds teams three trying
You couldn't say he was trying to break my neck. You could say it was a bad move on his part not to let up, to finish the hit the way he did. Unfortunately, the consequences from the league really are not that bad. Three games for him are like a holiday, three games without going out there and getting his lunch handed to him by the other teams in the league. Sounds like a pretty good tradeoff to me.
against best certainly effort expect league luck team
You certainly can't expect to have any luck with anything but your best effort against probably the best team in the league right now.
move shot
I made the move I wanted, but not the shot I wanted.
