We do think we're going to be a really competitive club and we want to be one of the top clubs, but we know it's not going to be easy, ... We're not going to get ahead of ourselves.
checks club finish hits hopefully key represents smaller sure wear
He's a big key to their club and he represents a lot of their speed. We try to make sure we all finish our checks on him . . . even the smaller hits, hopefully we wear him down a little. The more hits we can get on him the better.
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.

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.

The last couple of minutes they broke it open,
found game good knew thankfully weird win
It was a different kind of game. Before we knew it we were up four, but it was a weird game ... they're a good team, they battled back and thankfully we found a way to win that one,
ahead desperate flat fully match period start
They were more desperate than us off the start and we didn't match it. It was that first period where we were very flat and they were good. They got out ahead of us and we didn't fully get back into it.
literally second shot stanley winning
We were literally one shot away, one second away from winning the Stanley Cup.
great momentum whether
We got some great power-play opportunities and fortunately we were able to put it in. Those can be big momentum shifts one way or the other whether you get one or not.
five ourselves penalty team third trouble
We got ourselves into penalty trouble. They had five in the third period, or something like that, and two five-on-threes. You can't give any team that many chances.
