close enter game great hear learning side team winning
Learning to play in big games, Game 7 and Game 6, all of it is a whole different level. It's different hockey, it's great hockey. On the other side of it, we were that close (to winning the Cup), (so) we're hungry. To get that close and hear the other team celebrating, and know it could have been us, that does enter your mind.
close ducks game good period point positives ready series third
It's been a close series the whole way. We take the positives and get ready for Game 5. From our point of view, the third period was a good period for our club. Right to the end, we had some chances. You've got to give the Ducks credit.
close series
It's been a close series the whole way.
best close looks moving playing possession puck teams
They've always been one of the best teams at puck possession and when you're not moving your feet, it looks there like they're playing with us. That's not even close to our best.
close fans hear holding hurt imagining sitting time took
When you get that close and then you hear the other team, the other fans celebrating to 'Simply The Best' and 'We Are The Champions', that hurt. It hurt a lot. We didn't know who was holding the Cup, but each time someone else took it, you could hear the fans go nuts. We're just sitting there, soaking all of this in and imagining what it would feel like ... if it was us.
bad close front game single strength style terrible zone
We were terrible in front of (Boucher). It wasn't even close to the style of game we want to play all the way around. It was a terrible game. We were very sloppy. Our strength is in our own zone and every single one of us was bad in our own zone today.
closed five good hole trying
Kipper was good on that one. I was trying to go five hole and he closed it down pretty good.
awakens chemistry close finding knew work
It awakens something you never even knew you had when you're that close - so we'll have to work at finding that chemistry again,
bunch love sure
I'm sure he didn't want that, either. He was in there battling. Personally, I had a bunch there in the first I'd love to have back.
anybody great overtime stop
It was great to see that go in. He's got a big shot. I don't think anybody can stop that. Especially that overtime goal.
career continue excited finish flames help team
I'm excited to continue my career with the Flames and help this team finish what we started in the 2004 playoffs,
against boost both chance excited fit goal good great guys hard heard knowing locker matter natural physical playing room score speed stanley three tony
I'm very, very excited. Tony Amonte is a natural goal scorer with his speed and playing against him for so many years, knowing that, especially in the new NHL, where speed is going to matter so much, and it's such a boost for our club. And Darren McCarty, three Stanley Cups, and he's so hard to play against. You play against him and he can skate, he's physical and he can score goals. And these guys I've heard nothing but good things from other players. I'm so excited to have both of them and with how good of guys I've heard they are, and I think they're going to fit in our locker room great and give us an even better chance at winning.
edge game goal good physical
It was a pretty physical game and they probably had the edge there. In a one-goal game, they had the edge. They got the big goal late. It doesn't feel good on our part, that's for sure.
believe case certainly city nice playoffs season shot start
That's a nice change, ... You can pretty much the start the season in every city in the NHL and believe you have a shot at the playoffs and that certainly wasn't the case before.
