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.
biggest canada coming great hockey lead team
He's a big part of Hockey Canada, he's probably the biggest part, and it's great that he's coming over to lead our team again.
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.
coming expect good great hockey players respect wish
It's always a shock, you never expect these things. All the guys, we wish them well. We know they're very good players and great teammates. It's part of hockey and we respect the players that are coming back in the trade.
both edmonton forward good great improved looking quick team though top year
It's going to bea great battle, no question. I'm really looking forward to it. Even though we weren't two of the top teams, they were always some pretty good battles. And I think this year we're going to be an improved team and Edmonton is going to be improved. Both are quick and both like to be physical. It's going to be great.
both great
It's going to be a great battle. Both are improved, both are quick, both like to play physical.
avalanche beat boost great nice shot
We were a lot better offensively. It was great start. It was a big boost for us. It was nice to have a shot right back at the Avalanche after they beat us.
coming excited fun games great importance playing points
I get excited about playing in Edmonton, it's such a great atmosphere, and the games are fun to play in. We know the importance of these games, and coming away with two points is big for us.
atmosphere build corner definitely face great last playoffs thankful trying turning
We've been trying to build for a long time, and I'm thankful now, ... I think we're turning a corner and I really want to be here, what a great atmosphere with the fans. It's always been great around the playoffs, but to face what we had in the last playoffs and the atmosphere, I don't know if there's a better atmosphere and definitely we wanted to be here with our family.
greatest looking
Looking over my career, unfortunately, I haven't had the greatest first 10 games,
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.
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.
literally second shot stanley winning
We were literally one shot away, one second away from winning the Stanley Cup.
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.
