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,
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.
black dreamt everybody growing kids mean player players team trying
Being the only black player on my team growing up, I dreamt just like everybody else to be in the NHL, ... When I would say it, some other kids -- not trying to be mean -- (said) 'There are not that many black players in the NHL. What are the chances?'
amazing express team
This is amazing to me. I don't get it. No one on my team phoned me to express any displeasure with Ted's hiring. I can tell you that.
definitely few goal good quick seeing seen start teams tv watching
I've never been part of such a quick goal from the start of the period. I've seen it a few times by other teams watching on TV and stuff. Seeing it go in was definitely a good feeling.
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.
against fighting fights-and-fighting happen physical pumps team whoever
We want to be a hard, physical team to play against and fighting does happen in that. Our fight, whoever it is on our team, it pumps us up.
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.
beat team
There's a lot of parity. We know that any team can beat any team.
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.
conference knew match raise teams top
We knew they'd raise their game. They're one of the top teams in the conference and we didn't match them after they started coming.
agents benefit core free intact missing ours piece position puts team teams
I really like the position of our team, ... We're a young team that has a young core that's still intact and now we're one of those teams that's going to benefit from having free agents become available. If a team like ours is missing one piece, now we're able to go out and find that piece that puts us over the top.
amazing appreciate biggest easily fans letting low number scoring team tonight wins
To be a low scoring team like we are and to get the number of wins we have, he's easily the biggest reason. The fans were letting him know tonight and us as players, we appreciate everything he's done this year, it's been amazing to watch.
adjust good learn start teams
We'll learn and adjust from that game. Teams are too good around the league. You can't start like that.
