It adds an extra element to the game.
hard kept night worked
He got abused (yesterday) and kept going back for more. He worked hard and kept going at them. He was going hard all night to the net.
bug great people talk
It doesn't bug us at all that people talk about us as a contender. We know we have a great team, and we know we have to go out and show it.
confidence good matter ready time win winning year
It doesn't matter what time of year it is, we want to win games. That's good for our confidence to keep winning games. We want to be ready for the (regular) season.
beat cup definitely factor jealous motivating road stanley win won
Yeah. They know how to win. They won it. We're jealous of where they were two years ago, and we want to try to get there. It will be big for us on our road to try to win the Cup if we can beat the Stanley Cup champions. It's definitely a motivating factor for us.
definitely games heal miss properly slowly time
I'm slowly getting better ... it's still kind of day-by-day. It's definitely frustrating, any time you miss games it's frustrating. But the most important thing is we heal it properly and it doesn't become a reoccurring problem.
bigger elevate people physically picked stronger team
I'm stronger physically and I think stronger mentally, too. I'm bigger than people think because I'm not too physical normally. But, in the playoffs, you have to elevate your game. You play the same team so often, you'll get picked on if you don't.
acceptable cup stanley
I think so. The Stanley Cup is our goal. That's what we want to win, and nothing else is acceptable for us.
audition game good hockey left playing realize season sort time until
We have to realize we're not playing good hockey right now. But we still have one game left until the audition is over and the real season begins. We still have a little time to sort things out.

He's one of the best -- when you can understand what he's saying.
since team
This has been Ray's team since Dom went out.
nights plays ray win
All in all, we've got to win that game. We had a lot of chances, but it just didn't want to go in for us? What did we have? Forty-six shots? Most nights when you have that many, you're going to win, especially when your goalie plays as well as Ray did (last night).
confident doctor early stuff year
The doctor is confident it's just a strained pectoral muscle. It's too early in the year to try to play through stuff like that.
