character eight games hard testament win work
They work so hard every night, and to go eight games without a win is difficult. For them to come out and to play that hard and play that well is a testament to the character in the room.
five games negative playing seven team
What we thought would be a real negative of playing a team five times in seven games has become very entertaining.
four games gave good hope months three
It's going to take Brent 10, 11, 12 games. You just hope it doesn't take three or four months to get those games in. He gave us two good starts. Brent is a good goalie. And he'll give us some more good starts.
games glad hard hit night result row team totally worked
We had about 15 or 16 games in a row where we just totally outworked teams. We didn't get the result every night that we wanted, but we hit everything that moved, we worked hard -- there wasn't one team that outworked us. You're going to have a lull. We had two of them, and I'm glad we responded and didn't make it three.
concerned game games practice stanley tries trying winning
He tries this way in practice, he tries this way in Game 1, and he's trying this way now. He's more concerned about winning games and winning the Stanley Cup.
close games involved likely next people player quite special sure time win wish
I think the two people involved would likely wish it would just go away. This time it's not quite the same as it was the first time. There's special games for each player in the room. It's a close group, and I'm sure they would like to win for Alex, but it's just our next game.
felt few games winning
I felt that that was one of the few games that we didn't give a winning effort.
came power shots
I know there was a (10-4) disparity in the shots. But in the first period, I think 10 of their shots came on the power play.
good great guys loved nine players tonight work
I loved it. They work so hard, and tonight was just a great endorsement of what these guys do. We were down to nine forwards. We had no players left, and in the end the ones we had were spent. For the guys we were able to put on the ice, I thought they did a pretty good job.
finish goals happy hated meant sad
I'm happy he got to 50. I would have hated to see him finish at 49 goals. It would have been sad because I know what it has meant to him.
game penalties point turning
It was a game where we didn't play very well. We had some penalties we took. ... It was 1-0, then it was 3-0 and that was the turning point in the game.
goal great guys happy
It was a great play, a great goal by a great player. Our guys are as happy as he is for his success.
against lack playing stronger
It was playing against bigger, stronger players. We're young men. They're big men. It wasn't a lack of effort. It wasn't a lack of execution.
aware catch sneak speed strengths team
Their speed didn't catch us off guard. This team doesn't sneak up on anybody. We're all well aware of their speed and strengths and how well they can play defensively.
