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.
chances early played timely
Kipper, he's played like that all year. He's been amazing. Especially early tonight, they had some chances and he made some timely saves.
buzz good guys hear missed nice ninth time touch year
This is my ninth year here and I think I missed one of these tournaments for the World Cup. You come back and see the guys -- it's great. You keep in touch by e-mail but it's kind of a nice buzz to hear the anticipation. It's a good time of the year.
literally second shot stanley winning
We were literally one shot away, one second away from winning the Stanley Cup.

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.
five hard ourselves penalties penalty third trouble
We got ourselves in penalty trouble tonight. I think we had five penalties in the third period. In a tie game, it's hard to get offense.
negative question
It was a negative year, no question about it.
chances creating feeling good last scoring six starting
These last six games, I've been feeling better and things are starting to roll. As a group, we're creating more scoring chances and it's good for everybody's confidence.
cool sent
I sent (wife) Kara to try and find one but it wasn't in the stores. It will be cool to see.
challenge fast full
There's some grunting. The challenge is how fast you go from that tuck to that full position.
ahead chance fun morning saw woke
We didn't like the way we woke up this morning and saw they had jumped ahead of us. That's what makes these back-to-backs so much fun is if you lose, you get a chance to get right back at it.
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?'
bit everybody good quieter seems thinks year
Everybody thinks about it a bit. You try not to. This year it seems a little bit quieter around our place, which is good with us.
